A case of leiomyoma of the female urethra is reported. The patient, a perimenopausal, multiparous woman presented with a gradually enlarging mass per vagina for the past 6 months. A provisional diagnosis of carcinoma of skene's duct or vaginal leiomyoma was entertained and an excisional biopsy performed. To our surprise, histopathological examination revealed an urethral cellular leiomyoma.
