Summary:We report 5 cases of leiomyoma of the bladder and review the literature. Because of its size and location, this tumor usually is asymptomatic unless urinary tract function is affected. Excretory urography and computerized tomography were useful in identifying the location, consistency and size of the lesions. Small lesions can be managed with transurethral resection and large lesions require segmental resection. Cystectomy is not indicated.
