Vaginal leiomyoma co-existing with broad ligament and multiple uterine leiomyomas

Arch Gynecol Obstet. 2001 May;265(2):105-7. doi: 10.1007/s004040000143.

Abstract

A 48 year old African American woman presented with bladder pressure leading to the diagnosis of broad ligament and multiple uterine leiomyomas. She was also found to have a lateral vaginal wall mass which was confirmed to be a leiomyoma. Unlike uterine leiomyomas, vaginal leiomyomas are uncommon and are most often found in Caucasian women. Cases of such coexisting tumors are rare and their etiologic relationship is uncertain.
