  • Title: [Total laparoscopic excision of a leiomyoma of the urinary bladder -- a case report].
    Author: Patrozos K, Westphal J, Trawinski J, Wagner W.
    Journal: Aktuelle Urol; 2005 Feb; 36(1):58-60. PubMed ID: 15732006.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Leiomyoma of the urinary bladder is a rare, benign tumor of mesenchymal origin. Treatment options are discussed. Besides open surgery and transurethral resection of small, submucosal tumors, laparoscopic excision is an effective therapeutical option with a low complication rate. CASE REPORT: We report the medical history of a 36-year-old woman suffering from a leiomyoma of the urinary bladder and the therapy through laparoscopic excision. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic removal of urinary bladder leiomyomas is a suitable alternative to common therapeutical procedures.
