Abstract
Introduction and hypothesisVaginal leiomyomas are uncommon benign tumors of the genital district that appear as a circumscribed, mobile, and nontender mass along the vaginal tube. The gold standard of vaginal leiomyoma management is surgical treatment. We aimed to present a clinical case of vaginal leiomyoma successfully treated throughout a transvaginal excision and layered repair. MethodsA 44-year-old woman was referred to our division for vaginal bulging symptoms and dyspareunia. Clinical examination revealed a 4–5 cm hard bulging mass in the anterior vaginal wall, below the urethra, compatible with vaginal leiomyoma. After proper counseling, the patient was admitted to transvaginal leiomyoma excision plus primary layered repair. ResultsNo surgical complications were observed. The indwelling catheter was removed the day after the surgery. The patient was successfully discharged home on postoperative day 1. The patient is currently asymptomatic and there are no signs of recurrence. ConclusionThe procedure was successful in obtaining anatomical repair and relieving symptoms. This approach represents a valid procedure for the surgical management of this uncommon condition.
