- Abstract
- Uterine lipoleiomyomas are rare benign lesions composed of mature adipose tissue and smooth muscle cells. Uterine lipoleiomyomas are mostly found in the fundus or cervix and extremely rare in the broad ligament. Preoperative diagnosis of lipoleiomyoma of the broad ligament is very difficult due to its similarity to ovarian tumor. We report a 56-year-old menopausal woman with huge lipoleiomyoma of the broad ligament mimicking an ovarian tumor that treated with total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy.
