Abstract

Smooth muscle tumours are uncommon lesions of vulva. This case reflects the rare clinical presentation of leiomyoma of vulva, which commonly mimics bartholin gland cyst at presentation. A 25 year old P1L1 presents in GOPD as a painless non tender nodule at right labia majora, which gradually increased in size over last 2 years. Wide local excision was done. Histopathology revealed epitheloid leiomyoma of vulva. Recurrence is rare in benign cases.
