description Vulvar leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant smooth muscle tumor and the most common type of vulvar sarcoma. It can mimic benign tumors, and misdiagnosis may delay appropriate treatment. A 35-year-old woman presented to the outpatient gynecology clinic at the Mirebalais Teaching Hospital for a right vulvar mass. A complete excision of the mass was performed. Histopathology with immunohistochemistry demonstrated leiomyosarcoma. We describe the contextual challenges that ultimately compromised her care, highlighting the challenges to safe delivery of cancer care in our setting.
