Abstract

A case of a vaginal fibroma in a 50-year-old woman is presented. The tumor presented as a solid mass in the upper third of the anterior vaginal wall. Intravenous pyelography (IVP) and cystoscopy excluded any association of the mass with the urinary tract. Surgical excision of the tumor was easily accomplished and histopathological examination established the diagnosis of a fibroid tumor of the vagina.
