INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of sexual dysfunction is high among women; however, sexual dysfunction secondary to anatomical deformity in women is rare. In addition, primary retroperitoneal leiomyomas are very rare clinical conditions. AIM: To present a case with sexual dysfunction secondary to anatomical deformity. METHODS: In this article, we report the case of a large retroperitoneal leiomyoma causing sexual dysfunction. RESULTS: After the surgical removal of the large retroperitoneal mass, previous intercourse difficulties had been resolved. CONCLUSIONS: Retroperitoneal tumors may obstruct the vagina by congesting the pelvic area and may be considered as a possible cause of female sexual dysfunction.
