Abstract:
A case of leiomyoma of the vaginal wall causing voiding difficulty is presented. Although vaginal leiomyoma is rare, it is actually the most common benign tumor found in vagina and the most frequent location is the anterior vaginal wall. Because of the close anatomical relationship with the female urethra and the anterior vaginal wall, the tumor is often responsible for urologic symptom and excision of the lesion is usually performed by urologist.
