Abstract
Vulvar leiyomyom, oldukça nadir görülen leiyomyom çeşididir. Tüm jinekolojik tümörlerin %0.03’nü oluşturmaktadır. Genellikle ağrısız, soliter, düzgün sınırlı tümörlerdir.
Bizim olgumuzda, 38 yaşında kadın hasta sol vulvar bölgesinde şişlik şikayetiyle kliniğimize başvurdu. Hasta 2 seneye yakındır bu şikayetle bartholin apsesi düşünülerek takip edilmiş ve çeşitli antibiyoterapiler kullanmış. Şikayetlerinin geçmemesi üzerine hasta kliniğimize başvurdu. Hastanın idrar çıkışı olağandı. Fizik muayenede sol vulvar bölgede, bartholin bezi hizasında 4 cm’lik şişlik palpe edildi. Hastanın şikayetlerinin uzun zamandır olması üzerine ve medikal tedavilere yanıt alamadığından operasyona karar verildi. Hasta genel anestezi altında opere edildi ve patoloji sonucu vulvar leiyomyom olarak değerlendirildi.
Sonuç olarak, vulvar leiyomyomlar, nadir görülen myom çeşitleri olmasına rağmen bartholin kisti, bartholin apsesi, fibromlar veya diğer solid vulvar lezyonlar ile karışabilmesi nedeniyle ayırıcı tanıda mutlaka akılda tutulması gereken lezyonlardır.

Abstract
Vulvar leiomyoma is a scarce type of leiomyoma. It constitutes 0.03% of all gynecological tumors. They are usually painless, solitary, well-circumscribed tumors.
İn our case, a 38-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with a complaint of swelling in the left vulvar region. The patient was followed up with this complaint for almost two years, considering Bartholin's abscess, and used various antibiotherapies. The patient applied to our clinic after her complaints did not resolve. The patient's urine output was average. On physical examination, a 4 cm swelling was palpated in the left vulvar region at the level of the Bartholin gland. It was decided to operate because the patient's complaints had been for a long time, and they could not respond to medical treatments. The patient was operated on under general anesthesia, and the pathology result was vulvar diagnosed as leiomyoma.
In conclusion, although vulvar leiomyomas are rare types of fibroids, they must be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis because they can be confused with Bartholin’s cyst, Bartholin’s abscess, fibromas, or other solid vulvar lesions.
