Leiomyoma is a rare benign tumour of the urinary bladder. Typically, bladder leiomyomas are treated with transurethral resection, which yields favourable results. We present a clinical case of a 29-year-old man with a symptomatic bladder tumour, initially diagnosed on flexible cystoscopy and CT scan. Subsequent transurethral resection and MRI scan confirmed a transmural bladder leiomyoma invading the urachal remnant. The patient was subsequently treated with robotic partial cystectomy. The presentation and management, including imaging and histopathology results, are discussed with a brief review of the literature.
