Leiomyomas can develop in any organ containing smooth muscles. They most commonly occur in the gastrointestinal and the female genital tracts. Leiomyoma of the prostate is a rare, benign tumor. We report 3 cases of rare prostatic leiomyomas. The paucity of literature describing prostatic leiomyoma increases the chance for misdiagnosis. Fewer than 30 cases in the English literature, with none including magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, positron emission tomography-CT, and pathological findings together were found. Over the past decade, there has been a shift in the management of prostatic leiomyomas. Prostatectomy was once considered a standard approach for treatment, but now nonsurgical treatment options such as embolization are preferred. Conservative management including surveillance is an option for asymptomatic patients.
