Review of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapy of vulvar leiomyoma, a rare gynecological tumor

The objective of this article is to discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and therapy of vulvar leiomyoma. We performed a review of all English-language reports of vulvar leiomyoma published in PubMed from 1978 to 2015 using the following search terms: “vulval leiomyoma,” “vulvar leiomyoma,” “vulval smooth muscle tumor,” and “external genitalia smooth muscle tumor.” Vulvar leiomyomas, which are rare benign monoclonal tumors, most commonly occur in the fourth and fifth decades of life. The genetics of vulvar leiomyoma remain undefined. Three principal histological patterns have been identified: spindled, epithelioid, and myxoid. Imaging tests such as ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging are used in diagnosis. Surgical excision is the only curative treatment for vulvar leiomyomas. Establishment of a full differential diagnosis list and correct final diagnosis before surgery are essential for optimal clinical management. Although recurrence of vulvar leiomyoma is extremely rare, long-term follow-up of all cases is advisable.

“…Radical hemivulvectomy with inguinal lymphadenectomy has been reported for some cases (25). Multidisciplinary discussions between oncologists, gynecologist, and pathologists can provide guidance to ensure that adequate surgical excisions are performed and advise on the need for radiotherapy and chemotherapy, as these tumors are aggressive, with high rate of recurrence and distant metastases (25)(26)(27). The role of adjuvant therapy is not clear and comparisons between studies are rather di cult to reach a clear consensus.…”

“…Ultrasonography is the most widely used diagnostic tool because of easy access, low costs and being non-invasive. Pelvic computed tomography and pelvic MRI are more sparingly used and employed for rather di cult cases or were malignancy and/or local spread is suspected (2,19,27). As with many other reports, we have not employed any of the technologies above.…”

Abstract Background: Leiomyomas are uncommon vulvar neoplasms often misdiagnosed as other Bartholin gland pathology. Due to their rarity and the absence of guidelines, their diagnosis and management remain challenging, largely based on expert opinion and evidence from case reports. Case Presentation: This case report describes a 44-year-old woman presenting with accelerating growth of a vulvar mass. Based on clinical signs and symptoms, the initial diagnosis was Bartholin cyst. Surgical excision was provided for symptom control and aesthetic reasons. The histopathologic diagnosis was vulvar leiomyoma. The postoperative recovery was complicated by secondary haematoma and dehiscence of the surgical site. There was no recurrence at two years follow up. Therefore, we discuss the dilemma posed by physical examination of a vulvar mass, the challenges of the management, and report on secondary morbidity and long-term follow up, aspects of care for patients with vulvar pathology not commonly addressed in the literature. Conclusions: Bartholin gland neoplasms are rare tumors, commonly misdiagnosed as Bartholin’s cysts. Excision is the treatment of choice. Short time follow up allows prompt management of potential postoperative complications. Continuing long term follow up is recommended due to recurrence risk.

Leiomyomas are uncommon vulvar neoplasms often misdiagnosed as other Bartholin gland pathology. This case report describes a case of accelerating growth of a vulvar mass, initially diagnosed as Bartholin cyst. Surgical excision led to a histopathologic diagnosis of vulvar leiomyoma. The postoperative recovery was complicated by secondary hematoma and dehiscence of the surgical site.There was no recurrence at 2 years follow-up.
