Abstract:
Vulvar leiomyoma is a rare benign solid tumor of the vulva. Their incidence is not known as most reports are of a single case or small series, and their origin is not known exactly. Most cases are asymptomatic and local excision is recommended as initial therapy and also for recurrences. We have experienced vulvar leiomyoma (the labia majora and vestibule of the vagina) in a 51 years old woman and present it with a brief review of the literatures.
