ABSTRACT
Abstract Genital leiomyomas are rare tumors that can often be misdiagnosed as Bartholin cyst. We report a case of a 32-year-old patient who had a cystic nodulation in the left labium majus that was suggestive of Bartholin cyst. A resection surgery was performed, and the definitive histopathology diagnosis was vulvar leiomyoma. The macroscopic features of cystic lesions difficult the differential diagnosis between leiomyoma and Bartholin cyst; therefore, a histopathologic examination is often recommended.
RESUMO
Resumo Os leiomiomas genitais são tumores raros, e frequentemente são diagnosticados como cisto de Bartholin. Relatamos o caso de uma paciente de 32 anos em que ocorreu nodulação cística no grande lábio esquerdo sugestiva de cisto de Bartholin. Uma cirurgia de ressecção foi realizada, e o diagnóstico histopatológico definitivo foi leiomioma vulvar. As características macroscópicas das lesões císticas dificultam o diagnóstico diferencial entre o leiomioma e o cisto de Bartholin, demodo que o exame histopatológico é frequentemente recomendado.
