Abstract
Smooth muscle tumors originating from round ligament are rarewith leiomyoma being the most common type among them with unknown exact incidence. Its location at inguinal area/pubic area is confused with the clinical diagnosis of vulvar swelling, inguinal hernia, lymph node, or other nodal masses. Preoperative diagnosis is usually done by a computed tomography or an exploration of the affected area. Curative treatment is excision of the mass. Here, we report a case of a 47‑years‑old parous woman who presented with swelling over right inguinal region, on exploration, a myoma was found and was confirmed as leiomyoma on histopathology.
