title: [Vaginal leiomyoma].
abstract: Vaginal leiomyoma is a very rare condition. The earliest reference made to such a tumor is attributed to Denys De Leyden in 1773, and the first review of the literature concerning such tumors was published in 1882. It is estimated approximately 300 leiomyomas of the vagina have been reported in the world literature. The case of a 39-year-old female with large vaginal leiomyoma illustrates the diagnostic difficulties in such cases. In leiomyoma of the vagina surgical treatment is recommended.
