Sumario:Leiomyomas are benign, mesenchymal tumors that usually arise from uterine smooth muscle cells, but can also occur in atypical sites such as the vagina, lungs and vascular structures. Post-hysterectomy vaginal vault leiomyomas are very rare and their etiology has not been determined. Transvaginal ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are useful tools for the diagnosis and follow-up of these patients. The definitive treatment is total removal of the tumor to avoid dissemination or inadvertent spillage of occult malignant neoplastic cells. Administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs or intravascular embolization may be alternative methods to reduce intraoperative blood loss. A case of vaginal vault leiomyoma following hysterectomy is presented.
