Bladder Leiomyoma Presenting with Recurrent Cystitis: A Case Report
There have been few cases of bladder leiomyoma coexisting with urinary tract infection and uterine fibroids. Our findings suggest that female hormones, which might increase body weight and cause fatty liver, are associated with the growth of bladder leiomyomas. If a patient has recurrent urinary tract infection, a bladder leiomyoma should be included in the differential diagnoses.
