Abstract:
Vulval leiomyomas are exceedingly rare benign smooth muscle tumours, with limited cases reported in the literature. They often present a diagnostic challenge due to their uncommon location and nonspecific clinical presentation, mimicking other vulval pathologies. We present the case of a 40-year-old female who reported a painless, slowly enlarging mass on the left side of the vulva. An excisional biopsy was performed, and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of vulval leiomyoma. Vulval leiomyomas are rare and may be misdiagnosed due to their similarity to other vulval lesions such as Bartholin cysts, lipomas, or fibromas. The standard treatment is surgical excision, which is often curative.
