Abstract

Vulvar Leiomyoma is an extremely rare benign tumor of smooth muscle origin, accounting for a small fraction of Vulvar neoplasms. It often mimics Bartholin’s cyst or other soft tissue masses, posing diagnostic challenges. We present a case of a 19-year-old unmarried woman with a Vulvar mass. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of Vulvar Leiomyoma with no evidence of malignancy. Vulvar leiomyoma’s should be considered in the differential diagnosis of Vulvar masses. Accurate diagnosis requires histopathological analysis. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice. This case report is presented in accordance with the CARE guidelines.
