Abstract
We present a case of urethral Leiomyoma of a female patient. A 35 years old lady presented with a mass which was protruding from the urethral meatus causing dysuria, frequency and urinary retention. Physical examination showed the presence of a mass protruding from the urethral meatus and filling the vaginal introitus. The patient was treated surgically and the symptoms completely disappeared. Histopathological examination showed leiomyoma of the female urethra. A review of literatures on the female urethra has revealed that the tumors of the female urethra are very rare. Having encountered such a lesion we think it should be reported.
