The Presentation and Treatment of Myointimoma: A Systematic Review and the First Case Report of Penile Myointimoma as a Cause of Urethral Obstruction
Year: 2026
Type: review
Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: Background/Objectives: Myointimoma is a rare, benign soft tissue tumor of the penis. We present a systematic review of the current literature and a case report of a 33-year-old male with a urethral stricture without discernible risk factors. Our aim was to investigate current knowledge on Myointimomas and increase the awareness of this entity. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted across EMBASE, MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Only 30 previously reported cases of this tumor are known—all located at the glans penis or in close proximity to it. Results: After the exclusion of non-eligible studies, 14 studies were included. Conclusions: Myointimomas are a relevant differential diagnosis in recurring cases of bladder outlet obstruction.
