Mona Asnani et al. Intractable Rare Dis Res. 2016 Feb.

Abstract

Vaginal fibroids rarely exist as a primary vaginal tumor. Approximately 300 cases have been reported in the literature. Here we are reporting a rare case of giant vaginal fibromyoma. It was diagnosed as cervical fibroid polyp preoperatively but found to be vaginal fibromyoma peroperatively.

Keywords: Vaginal fibromyoma; hysterectomy.
