Vaginal leiomyomas, rare benign tumours arising from the vaginal wall, present a diagnostic challenge due to their varied clinical manifestations. We report the case of a woman in her mid-40s who sought medical attention for heavy menstrual bleeding and abdominal pain. Initial examinations revealed a palpable mass within the vaginal canal, prompting further investigation with imaging modalities that confirmed a solid lesion suggestive of leiomyoma. A Tru-Cut biopsy was performed to rule out malignancy, after which surgical excision was carried out. Subsequent histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis. The case underscores the importance of considering leiomyomas in the differential diagnosis of vaginal masses and highlights the successful management through appropriate surgical strategies with excellent postoperative outcomes.
阴道平滑肌瘤是一种罕见的起源于阴道壁的良性肿瘤,因其临床表现多样而带来诊断挑战。我们报告了一例45岁左右的女性病例,她因月经过多和腹痛就医。初步检查发现阴道管内可触及肿块,遂采用影像学检查进一步评估,结果证实为提示平滑肌瘤的实性病变。为排除恶性肿瘤进行了粗针活检,之后实施了手术切除。随后的组织病理学分析确诊了病情。该病例强调了在阴道肿块鉴别诊断中考虑平滑肌瘤的重要性,并突出了通过适当手术策略实现成功治疗以及良好术后效果。
