“…We have made the provisional diagnosis and assess the extent of tumor on the basis of clinical and ultrasound finding as we are from low resources countries and MRI is not usually performed. We have done the MCU preoperatively and urethrocystoscopy postoperatively as paraurethral leiomyoma lead to indent the bladder which may cause bladder injury which was also reported by Smitha V et al 9 In our case we also found there was chronic inflammation of vulva which may be due to paraurethral leiomyoma.…”

Leiomyoma is a most common benign tumour of uterus. But it is very rare in vagina urethral and paraurethral. There are approximately 330 case reports are available in literature and the paraurethral site is extremely uncommon. Here, we report a case of 38-year nulliparous woman presented with complain of mass coming out of vagina as well as dyspareunia. Provisional diagnosis of anterior vaginal cyst along with the differential diagnosis of paraurethral and anterior wall vaginal leiomyoma was made. Transvaginal removal of mass was done and diagnosis of paraurethral leiomyoma was confirmed by histopathology.

A 24-year-old unmarried sexually inactive girl presented with unexplains vaginal bleeding for past 18 months. In her past medical history, she had undergone an abdominal myomectomy 2 years previously.Pelvic sonography showed 5 × 5 cm a tissue mass under urethra (Figure 1). In view of these findings, we have discussed the following diagnoses; a vaginal fibroma, a leiomyoma delivered by the cervix, a polyp delivered by the cervix and a tumor of urethral localization. The peculiarities of the case we report are manifold. Indeed, vaginal leiomyoma is rare. Our patient was only 21-yearsold. The vaginal surgery of this form of leiomyoma causes hymeneal damage and compromises the patient's virginity, which is not always accepted in our conservative society.
