ABSTRACT = {Prostate leiomyomas are benign mesenchymal smooth muscle tumors devoid of glandular elements within the prostate or juxta-prostatic position. 
Leiomyomas develop in organs containing smooth muscle, including the kidney, bladder and seminal vesicle. Prostate leiomyomas are either a pure form or associatedwithbenignprostatehyperplasia,anddiagnosis is challenging, with defnitive identifcation relying on pathology. However, imaging techniques, such as MRI, have proven to be useful diagnostic tools.
We report on a 57-year-old male with lower urinary tract symptomatology who was diagnosed with a large prostate leiomyoma and underwent an open radical cystoprostatectomy and ileal conduit urinary diversion.},
