Vaginal Schwannoma is very rare and till now few cases have been reported in the literature. A case of vaginal Schwannoma is reported here. The patient was a 59 years old woman with the complaints of per vaginal bleeding with an attempt of D&C failure. Ultimately hysterectomy was done and the diagnosis of Vaginal Schwannoma was made on histopathological examination of the excised tumor. Clinicians should be aware and bear in mind about the differential diagnosis of vaginal Schwannoma in case of any per vaginal bleeding.
