MANTELLINI, Carmen; RIVERO C, Juan  e  MORAO, Carmen C. Mioma vaginal: reporte de un caso. Rev Obstet Ginecol Venez [online]. 2011, vol.71, n.1, pp.65-67. ISSN 0048-7732.

Vaginal myomas are very rare, generally asymptomatics, but could be presented with diverse symptoms regarding their localization and do not differ from their uterine counterparts. We present a clinic case of a 52 years old woman, asymptomatic, in whom a 1 cm sobreelevated, hyperpigmentated lesion was found on the posterior vaginal wall, which was removed with diathermical loop excision. Her pathological result was vaginal leiomyoma with melanical hyperpigmentation of the basal layer of the epithelium. We also present a literature revision.
