Abstract
Leiomyoma is the most common benign mesenchymal tumor of the vagina. However, leiomyoma with epithelioid features are very uncommon in the vagina. We report a rare case of epithelioid variant of leiomyoma in a 40-year old woman who presented with a painless vaginal mass. Immunohistochemistry against smooth muscle actin was done for confirmation.
