Abstract

Lipoleiomyoma is known to be an extremely rare benign tumor of uterus and is suspected to be a variant of leiomyoma. Apart from uterus, it can also occur in different locations including cervix and ovaries. The typical signs and symptoms of lipoleiomyoma are quite similar to that of leiomyoma. Here we report a case of lipoleiomyoma of uterus in a 62 years old female patient with complain of abdominal enlargement and fullness. It is aimed to discuss the morphological characteristics and differential diagnosis of lipoleiomyoma. In this case preoperative presumptive diagnosis of a large leiomyoma was made by assessing the computed tomography (CT) images and the final diagnosis of lipoleiomyoma was confirmed histopathologically.
