Ovarian filariasis is an exceptional disease and displays a major diagnostic problem even in endemic areas. We reported the case of a 19-year-old patient who had ovarian cyst which was revealed by chronic pelvic pain. The histological examination of oophorectomy specimen led to theWuchereria bancroftifilariasis of the ovary. The anatomopathologic examination is required for the diagnosis of this disease.

Vaginal leiomyomas (fibromyomas and rhabdomyomas) are rarely reported in literature. They usually present as a vaginal palpable wall mass, or dysparenuria, or pressure symptoms of urinary tract and pelvic organs presentations as pelvic pain. We report one vaginal leiomyoma case found during hysterectomy for relief of chronic pelvic pain. Vaginal leiomyoma is difficult to make accurate diagnosis because of its unusual presentation. Careful examinations and imaging study may need to make differential diagnosis with malignancy.
