Abstract

Vaginal leiomyomas are rare benign solid tumors of the vagina with only about 300 reported cases. Here we describe a 24-year-old sexually inactive patient presented with a vaginal bleeding. On ultrasonography, a 5-centimeter vaginal mass was diagnosis in the anterior vaginal wall under urethra. Preoperative MRI showed a well-circumscribed vaginal mass. After transvaginal surgical enucleation, histological examination confirms diagnosis of the vaginal leiomyoma. The peculiarities of the case we report are manifold. Indeed, vaginal leiomyoma is rare. Our patient was only 21-years-old. The vaginal surgery of this form of leiomyoma causes hymeneal damage and compromises the patient's virginity, which is not always accepted in our conservative society.
