perineal leiomyoma: a case report

Introduction: leiomyomas are tumors of the soft tissues. the incidence of myomas within the perineum is absolutely rare and only a few reports have been made on the matter. we herein report a case of perineal myoma in a virgin woman, which was successfully excised.case report: we present a 35-year-old virgin woman, with complaint referred to a mass in her perineum which had first exhibited signs 5 years prior to the time she referred to us and had increased in size in a steady manner ever since. the mass had caused no gynecologic, rectal, or urinary symptoms. clinical examination revealed a painless, mobile mass (6cm*6cm) with [unknown consistency] in the right perineum with extension to the distal of the labium majus of the same side.conclusion: treatment of symptomatic leiomyomas relies on surgical excision of the mass. however, the surgical method of choice is a matter of debate in previous studies.
