“…The treatment of choice for vaginal leiomyoma is surgical excision and enucleation as it confirms the diagnosis and also rules out the possibility of malignancy. It can be done either through vaginal or abdominal-perineal route depending upon the size of the mass [7]. Three patients showed recurrence within 2 years in a case series presented by Zhao's et al, thus encouraging the need of long-term follow-up for patients with vaginal leiomyoma [8].…”

“…Vaginal leiomyomas appear as well-defined solid masses with low signal intensity with homogenous contrast enhancement on T1-and T2-weighted images in magnetic resonance imaging. However, the gold standard remains histopathology for the diagnosis [7]. The treatment of choice for vaginal leiomyoma is surgical excision and enucleation as it confirms the diagnosis and also rules out the possibility of malignancy.…”

Background: Vaginal leiomyoma is an extremely rare benign tumor with only few cases reported so far. It usually arises from smooth muscle cells in sub-epithelial layer of vagina. Its variable presentations can often be confused with other benign or malignant vaginal masses. Case Report: A 40-year-old female, parity 4 living 4, reported to the gynaecology casualty with complaints of frequent menses for 3 years and urinary retention for 2 days. Pelvic examination revealed a mass of around 10×6 cm originating from the left lateral vaginal wall. Histopathological examination of the enucleated mass revealed vaginal leiomyoma. Conclusion: Although vaginal leiomyoma on lateral vaginal wall is a rare entity, it should be included in one of the differential diagnosis of vaginal masses.

“…Vaginal leiomyoma is usually firm but, may undergo degeneration to become soft. The variation in the consistency from firm to soft makes diagnosis more difficult (3,6). It is usually asymptomatic until it reaches a larger size (4, 7).…”

Background: Leiomyoma is a benign smooth muscle mesenchymal tumor, usually of uterine origin but may rarelydevelop in the vaginal walls. Case presentation: A case of 40-year-old para 5+0 woman with anterior vaginal wall leiomyoma is reported. Thepresentation mimics that of uterovaginal prolapse and hence presents a diagnostic challenge. The unusualappearance of the protrusion, failure to reduce at any time even while lying down, and complete absence of urinarysymptoms raised the suspicion of a rare case. The diagnosis was made through examination under anesthesia,cystoscopy, and biopsy. Histological examination of the biopsy specimen confirmed vaginal wall leiomyoma. Thepatient had complete excision of the mass without any complications. Discussion and Conclusion: Vaginal wall leiomyoma is a rare benign vaginal lesion that can easily bemisdiagnosed. Diagnosis involves critical clinical evaluation, especially during pelvic examinations. Any vaginalprotrusion should be approached with a high index of suspicion, especially in patients of reproductive age.

A 36-year-old Caucasian, nulliparous patient sought care at a private gynecology clinic after 6 months of attempting to conceive. During the initial consultation, the patient reported severe dysmenorrhea and deep dyspareunia. During the gynecological examination, a nodule in the left lateral vaginal fornix was palpable. The MRI showed a hypointense nodular lesion in the left paracolpium described as an endometriosis nodule. Laparoscopic resection of the nodule was indicated. The patient showed improvement in symptoms after surgical treatment. This case report describes the technique for laparoscopic approach to paracolpium tumors.
