Vaginal leiomyomas are rare. They usually arise from the anterior vaginal wall. We report a case of a vaginal leiomyoma arising from the right lateral wall that presented as a gluteal swelling with pus discharging per vagina, creating a clinical dilemma in diagnosis. Preoperative imaging and biopsy may help to rule out malignancy. The size of the tumor necessitated abdominoperineal approach and hysterectomy for better surgical access. To the best of our knowledge such a clinical presentation of a vaginal leiomyoma has not been reported in the literature.

“…4 Large tumors (.10 cm in diameter) have been reported and are associated with bladder outlet obstruction, urinary retention, and dyspareunia. [5][6][7] Tumor ulceration and vaginal bleeding, although unusual, may occur. 2 The differential diagnosis of vaginal masses includes both solid and cystic lesions, and benign and malignant lesions.…”

A rare case of rapidly growing vaginal leiomyoma initially mimicked a prolapsed uterus. After careful examination, we confirmed the diagnosis and removed the leiomyoma via simple excision. The clinical presentation, ultrasound findings, cystoscopic, and surgical findings are presented. The characteristics, differential diagnosis, association with pregnancy, presurgical evaluations, including sonography, intravenous pyelography and magnetic resonance imaging of vaginal leiomyoma, are discussed.

“…4 Vaginal fibroids are generally small and asymptomatic, although larger tumors may cause bladder outlet obstruction and urinary retention. [5][6][7] Surgical excision of these lesions is the preferred form of treatment. 8 Several entities must be considered in the differential diagnosis of a mass located between the vagina and urethra.…”
