Abstract

Leiomyomas are common benign neoplasms that can occur at any anatomical site containing smooth muscle, though most originate in the female genital tract. Leiomyomas of the vulva or perineum are, however, very rare. We report the ultrasonographic (US) and MR imaging findings of a vulvar leiomyoma, and briefly review the literature.
