Leiomyomas have a reported prevalence of up to 80% in women, the vast majority of which are intrauterine. We report a rare occurrence of a clitoral myoma, measuring approximately 2cm by 2cm in a healthy, 24 year-old African-American female. The leiomyoma was excised under general anesthesia and confirmed by pathologic examination. Clitoral leiomyomas are uncommon, with only 3 cases were published in the literature over the past 60 years. However, the presence of myomas in this location should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of peri-clitoral lesions.
