ABSTRACT

Leiomyomas, also called myomas or fibroids, are smooth muscle tumors that can be located anywhere in the body, but more commonly in the genital and gastrointestinal tracts. The objective of the paper is to present a case of vaginal myoma in a 42-year-old woman. This patient came to the consultation for presenting a painless gradually-growing round mass at the level of the vaginal introitus, for several months. The presence of a rounded mass of sessile implantation on the anterior side of the vagina is confirmed by clinical and imaging examination. Surgical exeresis was performed, which was histopathologically studied. It was found to be a vagina leiomyoma. The patient did not present postoperative complications.
