<p>Extra-peritoneal leiomyoma is a rare condition with the recognised etiologic factor being direct seeding of the site by a prior uterine surgery with a right metabolic environment. We report a rare case of abdominal wall leiomyoma developing in a fertile woman with no known predisposing factor and highlight the common approach to establish the diagnosis so as to deliver appropriate treatment to the patient.</p>

“…The uterus is a common site of development of leiomyoma. Also atypically fibroids can occur outside the pelvic region such as the on abdominal wall, anterior abdominal sheath, vaginal wall or even on the chest wall [2][3][4] Vaginal leiomyomas are very rare. Approximately 300 cases have been reported in the literature 5 .…”

Although fibroids are very common in women with reproductive age, vaginal leiomyomas are very rare. Two patients presented to our clinic and diagnosed with atypical localization of myoma uteri. A 52-year-old woman admitted to our clinic with the complaint of menometroragia and a 45-year-old woman referred to our clinic from another center with the diagnosis of cystocele. This two patients diagnosed as vaginal myoma. Vaginal leiomyoma may present with clinical symptoms such as dyspareunia and vaginal mass, vaginal discharge or mimicking uterovaginal prolapse. When a vaginal mass is detected, a differential diagnosis of leiomyoma should be considered despite being a rare situation.

“…The majority, 13 out of 15, underwent radical surgical excision with further recurrences. Although there are no standardized guidelines, surgical option is usually the treatment of choice as it allows to prevent the rare possibility of malignant degeneration and to relief to symptoms such as chest pain or dyspnea ( 78 ).…”

Benign tumors of the chest wall are rare tumors that might arise from all the tissues of the chest: vessels, nerves, bones, cartilage, and soft tissues. Despite benign features, these tumors can have several histological characteristics and different behaviors. Even if they do not influence life expectancy, rarely they may have a potential risk of malignant transformation. They can cause several, oft, unspecific symptoms but more than 20% of affected patients are asymptomatic and are being diagnosed incidentally on chest radiograph or computed tomography scan. Pain is the most common described symptom. Together with a detailed medical history, a rigorous and meticulous clinical and radiological assessment is mandatory. If radiological features are unclear or in case surgery could not be performed, a biopsy should be indicated to establish a diagnosis. Radical surgical resection can often be offered to resect and cure these neoplasms, but this is might not be true for all types of tumors and, in some cases, their dimension or position might contra-indicate surgery. Given the rarity of these tumors, there is a lack of treatment’s guidelines and prospective trials that include a significant number of patients. This review discusses, according to the latest evidence, the histological features and the best treatment of several chest wall benign tumors.
