Background: A leiomyoma is a benign tumor of smooth-muscle cells that can arise from the genitourinary or gastrointestinal systems. Leiomyomas arising from the urethra or paraurethral areas are uncommon, and there are few reported cases. Case: A 25-year-old female presented with a painless paraurethral swelling during her first trimester of pregnancy. This swelling progressively increased in size, causing obstructive urinary symptoms. Examination under anesthesia was performed, and diagnostic cystoscopy–urethroscopy was performed prior to surgical excision of the mass to ensure that the site of origin had no urethral communication. Results: Histopathologic evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of a leiomyoma. No postoperative complications were noted, and the patient's urinary symptoms were relieved. Conclusions: It is important to differentiate a urethral leiomyoma that presents mainly with obstructive urinary symptoms and requires surgical endoscopic resection from a paraurethral leiomyoma that presents mainly as an asymptomatic freely mobile lump and does not communicate with the urethra, having a clear line of cleavage in between.
