Abstract

Leiomyoma is the most common benign tumor of uterus and rarely may be seen in other parts female reproductive system like the round ligament, utero-sacral ligament, inguinal canal and vagina. Only a few examples of fibroid with vaginal origin have been documented in the literature. With only roughly 300 recorded occurrences, vaginal leiomyomas are still a rare condition. These vaginal fibroids arise most commonly from the anterior vaginal wall causing varied clinical presentations. We report a case of vaginal lateral wall fibroid of 8 cm size and extending into paraurethral space. The vaginal mass was surgically excised and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyoma with cartilaginous degeneration.
