SULTHANA NASEEMA BANU N N

Abstract


Extra uterine leiomyomas are rare tumors thought to arise from smooth muscle cells within erectile tissue or blood vessel walls or round ligaments remnants in the labium majus. They are clinically misdiagnosed as Bartholins cyst  pre-operatively. Our case is 50 year old postmenopausal lady who had a painless swelling for past one year with a             preoperative diagnosis of Bartholins gland cyst. Surgical  excision of the swelling was done and postoperative                histopathology revealed leiomyoma.
