Résumé

Le léiomyome, connu comme une pathologie de l’utérus, constitué de fibres musculaires lisses fusocellulaires et de stroma collagène, est rarement rencontré au niveau d’autres sites. Nous rapportons, ici, un cas exceptionnel avec une localisation à cheval entre le vagin et la vulve et discutons les problèmes de prise en charge de cette entité pathologique.

We report here an exceptional case with a location halfway between the vagina and vulva and discuss the problems of management of this disease entity.
