Abstract

Introduction

Leiomyoma arising from the vagina is a rare entity with varied presentations.

Case Report

A woman 44 years of age presented with complaints of something coming out vaginally, polymenorrhea, and pain in abdomen. A mass arising from the right posterolateral wall of vagina was seen. Ultrasound reported it to be cervical fibroid. The mass was enucleated through vaginal route. Histopathology confirmed it to be a leiomyoma. Review of literature revealed that it has a varied presentation. Diagnosis is often missed.

Conclusion

The condition should always be kept in mind whenever coming across any mass in vagina.
