N2  - Although fibroids are very common in women with reproductive age, vaginal leiomyomas are very rare. Two patientspresented to our clinic and diagnosed with atypical localization of myoma uteri. A 52-year-old woman admitted to ourclinic with the complaint of menometroragia and a 45-year-old woman referred to our clinic from another center withthe diagnosis of cystocele. This two patients diagnosed as vaginal myoma. Vaginal leiomyoma may present with clinical symptoms such asdyspareunia and vaginal mass, vaginal discharge or mimicking uterovaginal prolapse. When a vaginal mass isdetected, a differential diagnosis of leiomyoma should be considered despite being a rare situation.
