Uterine leiomyomas are common and can affect up to 30% of women older than 35 years. Despite
this, leiomyomas of the vulva are rare, masquerading and usually misdiagnosed as Bartholin cyst
preoperatively. These smooth muscle tumors are typically painless, solitary and well circumscribed
and can affect female of any age group. We present a case of a 46-year-old female that presented to
the clinic with 2-year history of right labial mass and was diagnosed as Bartholin cyst initially. The
patient underwent elective excision under spinal anaesthesia and the mass was removed. The final
diagnosis after microscopy result showed benign vulvar leiomyoma.
