“…Harish et al reported a case of left inguinal fibromyoma in a patient who had hysterectomy done for uterine fibromyoma 18 years before.

Fibromyoma which is commonest benign tumor mostly arises from smooth muscles of uterus present in 20-25% women of reproductive age group. Round ligament Fibromyoma is rare tumor & exact incidence not known. It may mimic ovarian tumor when it was intra peritoneal and located in adnexa. Preoperative diagnosis can be made by history, clinical examination, USG, CT scan of abdomen. Surgical excision is the curative treatment. A 35 years lady para 2 presented with lump in lower abdomen gradually increasing in size for 3-4 yrs and pain for 2 months. On examination firm palpable mass of 28 weeks pregnancy size. Her USG and CT scan detected well defined 28 cm x 22 cm X 20 cm mass in right adnexa & diagnosis given ovarian tumor. Her CA 125 level was 97unit/ml. Laparotomy finding was a big firm lobulated tumor arises from right round ligament. Tumor removed as a whole, uterus, both ovaries, and left sided fallopian tube healthy & preserved. Final histopathological diagnosis benign fibromyoma with degenerative change. So diagnosis of fibromyoma always kept in mind during the differential diagnosis of any pelvic mass.

“…The histopathological workup revealed a benign fibroid originating from round ligament. The authors drew attention to the possibility of a newly developing leiomyoma in patients who had been operated previously for myoma uteri and the importance of a careful diagnostic workup [ 8 ]. In a case report by Midya and Dewanda, the authors presented a 35-year-old patient who presented with the complaint of a mass in the right lower quadrant which was constantly enlarging for the last 8 months.…”

Round ligament of uterus leiomyoma is a rare, benign tumor of the vulva. Its incidence is not known exactly, and the mean age ranges from 13 to 70. Although clinical properties of benign and malignant diseases in the vulvar area are frequently similar, early diagnosis and treatment are essential. Local excision is recommended as definitive therapy. We present an 28-year-old female without any birth with a mass in anterior vaginal wall diagnosed as vulvar leiomyoma. In conclusion, a brief review of relevant literature emphasizes that leiomyomas are quite rare outside of the uterus but they might occur in any tissue or organ containing smooth muscle, spontaneously or parasitically after the spreading effect of an accident or surgical trauma. Clinicians should be alert especially for the diagnosis in a tissue with smooth muscle content.

Leiomyoma is a common tumor of the uterus that often clinically impacts on the lower urinary tract and results in urological and sexual symptoms. Leiomyoma can compress and grow into and become adherent to the bladder and surrounding pelvic organs or metastasize into peritoneal organs. Leiomyoma can enlarge and compress the urinary bladder, urethra, and lower end of the ureters. Leiomyoma can cause embarrassing sexual dysfunction in females. Current literature of non-surgical and surgical therapy of leiomyoma is described.
