An Unusual Localization of Leiomyoma: Vaginal Leiomyoma

Although fibroids are very common in women with reproductive age, vaginal leiomyomas are very rare. Two patients presented to our clinic and diagnosed with atypical localization of myoma uteri. A 52-year-old woman admitted to our clinic with the complaint of menometroragia and a 45-year-old woman referred to our clinic from another center with the diagnosis of cystocele. This two patients diagnosed as vaginal myoma. Vaginal leiomyoma may present with clinical symptoms such as dyspareunia and vaginal mass, vaginal discharge or mimicking uterovaginal prolapse. When a vaginal mass is detected, a differential diagnosis of leiomyoma should be considered despite being a rare situation.

Nadir Yerleşimli Leiomyom Olgusu: Vajinal Leiomyoma

Leiomyomlar reprodüktif dönemdeki kadınlarda çok sık görülmesine rağmen vajinal leiomyomlar çok nadir görülür. Kliniğimize farklı şikayetlerle başvuran iki hastada vajinal leomyoma tespit edildi. 52 yaşında kadın hasta kliniğimize menometroraji şikayeti ile başvurdu ve 45 yaşında kadın hasta kliniğimize sistosel tanısı ile başka bir merkezden yönlendirildi. Bu iki hasta vajinal miyom tanısı aldı. Vajinal leiomyom; disparoni, vajinal kitle,vajinal akıntı veya uterovaginal prolapsusu taklit eden klinik semptomlarla ortaya çıkabilir. Bir vajinal kitle tespit edildiğinde, nadir görülmesine rağmen ayırıcı tanıda leiomyom da olabileceği düşünülmelidir.
