Abstract

Vulvar myxoid leiomyoma are very rare soft tissue tumors of vulva with less than 50 cases being reported in the literature. They are usually misdiagnosed as Bartholin’s cyst; however, it is important that they are diagnosed correctly owing to their ability to recur and metastasize. We present a case of a young multiparous woman, with a slowly progressive perineal swelling who was operated and diagnosed as a case of vulvar myxoid leiomyoma.
