BACKGROUND: Paraurethral fibroid is a rare condition. To date, there is no unified protocol to guide long-term follow up in this condition. This study reviewed case reports and summaries published in the last 10 years and focused on the management plans and follow up of patients with paraurethral fibroids.
CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 44-year-old woman who presented with urinary symptoms. Clinical examination and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an approximately 3 × 3 cm mass which was considered as a paraurethral fibroid. Complete surgical excision was performed. The patient was discharged with no postoperative complications. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a benign leiomyoma.
CONCLUSIONS: Paraurethral fibroid is a rare condition which can be diagnosed with a high level of certainty based on clinical examination and imaging. A multidisciplinary team which includes experienced radiologists and urogynecologists or urologists who have the expertise to perform vaginal surgery with urethral reconstruction is essential for definitive management. Long-term follow up for expected possible complications is advisable. Further research with a larger number of cases is needed to recommend an evidence-based protocol for management of paraurethral fibroid.
