Abstract
Leiomyoma, known as a pathology of the uterus, consisting of fusocellular smooth muscle fibres and collagenous stroma, is rarely found at other sites. Leiomyoma of the vulva is an exceptional location. We report a case of vulvovaginal leiomyoma in a 44-year-old G2P2 patient, seen for a firm mass of the left lips evolving for 3 years with no other apparent signs. The surgical intervention allowed the removal of a tissue-like tumour of 9cm long axis, weighing 140 grams. The final histological diagnosis was a leiomyoma with no evidence of malignancy.
