RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Mesenchymal tumours of the bladder are benign but rare occurrences and represent approximately 1% of all bladder tumours. CASE REPORT: We report a case of a large bladder leiomyoma in an asymptomatic patient. A large pelvic mass was discovered incidentally on the bedside ultrasound scan during a review at the gynecology clinic. Intra-operatively, no mass was seen in the pelvis, and cystoscopy demonstrated an intravesical mass. It was further evaluated with cystoscopy. MR imaging demonstrated typical features of a bladder leiomyoma. Subsequently, the patient underwent partial cystectomy, and the mass was removed, which was histologically proven leiomyoma. CONCLUSION: Awareness of this rare clinical entity and identification of its typical radiological features on MR imaging can aid with accurate diagnosis and preclude unnecessary radical surgery.
RESUMO
The Singapore Health Services cluster (SingHealth) radiology film archives are a valuable repository of local radiological cases dating back to the 1950s. Some of the cases in the archives are of historical medical interest, i.e. cerebral angiography in the workup of patients with hemiplegia. Other cases are of historical social interest, being conditions seen during earlier stages of Singapore's development, i.e. bound feet. The archives form a unique portal into the development of local radiology as well as the national development of Singapore. A selection from the archives is published in commemoration of the International Day of Radiology in 2020, as well as the 200th anniversary of the Singapore General Hospital in 2021. This pictorial essay comprises gastroenterology, musculoskeletal and obstetrics and gynaecology cases from the archives.

This pictorial essay comprises cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological cases from the archives.
