Abstract

The authors describe one female patient with leiomyoma of the bladder who presented with female pseudoprostate and right hydronephrosis. A computed tomography (CT) of the pelvis revealed a soft tissue mass, circumferential and heterogenous in appearance with some calcification inside the mass. Bladder leiomyoma might be one of the differential diagnoses with CT imaging findings of female pseudoprostate.
