“…They usually present as a mass in the vagina or as pressure symptoms on the urinary tract [2,3].

Leiomyomas are benign tumours commonly occurring in the uterine wall. They are rarely seen in the vaginal wall leading to pressure symptoms on urinary tract. Indentation of leiomyoma from anterior vaginal wall into the bladder is rare and hence we report one such case. A 55 year old Caucasian woman presented to urology clinic with recurrent Urinary tract infection and pressure symptoms. After the diagnosis of a vaginal mass, she was referred to Gynaecology clinic. During the excision of the vaginal mass its indentation into the bladder was noted. Histology report confirmed the diagnosis of benign leiomyoma.

Vaginal leiomyoma is a rare clinical entity with varied clinical presentation. Symptomatology ranges from being asymptomatic to symptoms like dyspareunia, pressure symptoms and discharge per vaginum. These leiomyomas if situated in lower half of vagina may mimic vaginal cysts or uterine prolapse and in upper half of vagina may be confused with bladder malignancy. Surgical excision followed by histopathology is the management for establishing the diagnosis and ruling out malignancy.
