“…8 Vaginal leiomyomas are often discovered as asymptomatic masses and their clinical presentation varies, often leading to misdiagnoses. 9 (See Table 1) Our patient was initially misdiagnosed with uterine prolapse due to the large size of her tumor. Careful pelvic examination should have revealed the cervix above the tumor mass and the retroflexed uterus.…”

“…While typical vaginal leiomyomas can be treated via simple excision, 9 large tumors and more complicated cases require meticulous dissection to avoid injury to the surrounding urogenital and gastrointestinal organs. Transabdominal and/or transvaginal ultrasound is useful for surgical planning to show the tumor morphology and its anatomic location in relation to other urogenital structures.…”

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.

“…While extrauterine leiomyoma rarely occurs, leiomyo mas of the ovary, tube, vulva, vagina, and even of the jeju num or the lung have been reported [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Since a leio myoma of the vaginal wall is usually removed transvaginally without other operations, it is difficult to determine how often it accompanies leiomyomas of other organs.…”

“…Among women, urethral leiomyomas occur most commonly on the posterior urethral wall. However, vaginal wall leiomyomas most commonly occur on the anterior vaginal wall [8]. Thus, paraurethral leiomyomas tend to occur between these areas in the vesicovaginal septum or paraurethral space.…”

Leiomyoma is a benign mass of smooth muscle cells that most frequently occurs in the gastrointestinal and genitourinary system. However, leiomyomas arising from the female urethra, especially paraurethral, are exceedingly rare. We present a case of a true paraurethral leiomyoma. The initial presenting complaints were dyspareunia, increased urinary frequency, and a 1.8 cm lesion in the anterolateral wall of the vagina that was suspicions of a Gartner's duct cyst. However, the patient was lost to followup for 5 years. On return, the patient continued to complain of dyspareunia, urinary frequency, suprapubic pain, and dysuria. The patient was treated for multiple instances of urinary tract infections (UTIs) without symptomatic improvement. A pelvic MRI demonstrated a 3.8 x 4.1 x 4.7 cm mass within the left anterior aspect of the lower cervix/vagina. Cystoscopy was notable for an unremarkable urethra with an anterior vaginal wall mass extrinsically pushing the bladder trigone without penetration into the bladder mucosa or communication with the ureter or vagina. A biopsy from the paraurethral mass revealed well-delineated cells with low mitotic figures encompassed in a fibrous capsule non-adherent to adjacent structures. The mass was subsequently excised through the anterior vaginal wall with no complications and complete resolution of symptoms.
