Leiomyoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor that can occur in patients of any age. In the genitourinary system the tumor arises most frequently in the uterus, but can occur in any region. The tumor is seen more frequently in women than in men, and can be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Here we present a 23-year-old man who had symptomatic leiomyoma of the bladder.
