Rhabdomyomas represent ≤2% of all striated muscle tumours. Among the extracardiac subtypes, genital rhabdomyoma is most uncommon. The vaginal type commonly presents as a polypoidal mass. Benign and malignant mimickers should be differentiated from vaginal type of genital rhabdomyoma for appropriate treatment. Here, the present authors report a case of a 48-year-old nulliparous woman who presented with the history of bleeding per vagina. Clinical examination revealed pedunculated polyp in anterior vaginal wall. Followed by, histopathological examination confirmed diagnosis of vaginal rhabdomyomas.
