Abstract

Leiomyoma is a benign smooth muscle tumor with very rare malignant transformation to cancer. Leiomyoma can occur in any organ of the body but genitourinary tract is a rare site. Only few cases of ureteric leiomyoma have been reported. We report the rare case of primary leiomyoma of ureteral origin with hydronephrosis.

 Keywords: Leiomyoma; Computed Tomography (CT), genitourinary tract, Ureter
