Leiomyoma of the vulva; a rare occurrence

Abstract

Leiomyoma are known to occur in the uterus. It is unusual to find these benign smooth muscle tumours anywhere else. We report the occurrence of a swelling that appeared like a huge Bartholin's cyst in the vulva of a 30 year old married nulliparous woman. She had successful excision and histology confirmed it to be a leiomyoma.
