This case highlights the importance of considering vaginal leiomyoma in the differential diagnosis of vaginal masses and early diagnosis and surgical management result in excellent outcomes with minimal recurrence risk.
Abstract
Primary vaginal leiomyomas are rare benign smooth muscle tumors that can pose a diagnostic challenge due to their unusual location and nonspecific presentation. We report a case of a female aged 29 years, on her routine checkup for primary infertility. On examination Incidental vaginal mass was found, a well-defined mass visualized in the anterior vaginal wall extending into right vaginal wall indenting into vaginal canal. Cervix was not visualized. Imaging showed well-defined lesion suggestive of anterior vaginal fibroid of size 5.1 × 6.8 × 7.3 cm. The patient underwent diagnostic laparoscopy followed by complete surgical excision by abdomino-vaginal approach. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyoma. The postoperative period was uneventful, and the patient remained symptom-free on follow-up. This case highlights the importance of considering vaginal leiomyoma in the differential diagnosis of vaginal masses. Early diagnosis and surgical management result in excellent outcomes with minimal recurrence risk.
Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas, are common benign tumors in women of reproductive age, with a reported prevalence of 20–80 %. Vaginal leiomyoma is a rare smooth muscle tumor and up to date approximately 300 cases of vaginal leiomyomas have been described in the literature. The tumors are often asymp...

Background: Extra-uterine leiomyomatosis is a rare benign condition characterized by the proliferation of smooth muscle cells outside the uterus. Its clinical presentation is often misleading and may mimic malignant pelvic disease, particularly in patients with a history of uterine surgery. Case presentation: We report...

Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign pelvic neoplasms in women of reproductive age. Although benign, specific subgroups exhibit aggressive growth dynamics leading to severe clinical complications, including acute anemia, pelvic pressure, and organ displacement [1]. This article presents a comparative analysis...
Mature ovarian teratomas are the most common benign germ cell tumors of the ovary and usually affect women of reproductive age. Their clinical presentation is variable, and in some cases, imaging findings may be misleading, complicating the preoperative diagnosis. We report a case of an 18-year-old female patient who p...
