Cystoscopy A - a knob-shaped bladder neck tumor covered with healthy mucosa. The "head" covers the whole bladder neck surface stopping urine outflow in a flap-like manner and the "leg" (arrow) protrudes from the bladder neck from 2 to 5-o'clock. Cystoscopy B - during TUR, note the yellow-whitish color of the tissue. Cystoscopy C - control cystoscopy after six months.

The patient was catheterized then a cystoscopy (Fig. 1a) and MRI (Fig. 2a,b) followed. Some weeks later, during the transurethral resection (TUR), after resecting the main body of the leiomyoma a superficial cut (less than the resectoscope's loop depth) into the neck was performed to excise as much of the leiomyoma's pedicle as possible without damaging the sphincter (Fig. 1b). Cystoscopy (Fig. 1c) and MRI showed no regrowth after six months.
