Benign Masses of Female Anterior Vaginal Wall and Periurethral Tissues

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to point out reliable diagnosis and correct treatment for rare benign perivaginal masses. Material and Methods: The diagnosis, treatment, histology, and postoperative management were summarized and analyzed by an operation due to benign AVM from the medical records of Sakarya University Training and Research Hospital Urology and Urogynecology clinics between the years 2020-2021. Results: The mean age of the patients was 46.2 years. Among the patients included in the study, 80% had dyspareunia, 50% had dysuria and urgency, and 40% had sensation of mass symptoms. When the cases were examined according to their histopathological diagnoses, 3 cases were leiomyoma, 5 cases were cysts, 2 cases were transitional epithelial-lined cysts, and 1 case was a fibroepithelial polyp. Conclusion: Although benign perivaginal masses are rare, symptoms improve when the correct diagnosis is made, and appropriate surgery is performed. Differential diagnosis is necessary for an appropriate treatment approach.
