Leiomyoma of the urinary bladder is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor and accounts for less than 0.43% of all bladder tumors. It occurs more frequently in young and middle age women and is extremely rare in children. The present case to the best of our knowledge represents the third reported case of leiomyoma of urinary bladder in children. This case was initially diagnosed on radiological assessment by ultrasound and computed tomography. The histopathological and immunohistochemical findings of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyoma. We, herein, present a rare case report of leiomyoma of the urinary bladder in paediatric age group.
