Journal Title: International Journal of Scientific Research and Management - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Lipoleiomyoma is a rare benign s oft tissue tumour which was first described in 1991 . They usually occur within t he abdominal cavity and retroperitoneum , although it may also be found in the subcutis and muscular fascia. Lipoleiomyoma is a tumour comprised of smooth muscle cells along with diffuse and scattere d lobules of adipose tissue sh owing whorling at places. These tumours are seen in uterus as intramural growths. Most cases of lipoleiomyomas cannot be distinguished clinically from leiomyoma and to a large extent diagnosis can be made on the typical gross appearance & histopatholological examination of th e tumour. Incidence of this neoplasm is estimated to be 0.03 - 0.2%. The majority of patients do not report any symp toms. Almost all of the cases of lipoleiomyoma have been repo rted in postmenopausal women .We report a case of uterine lipoleiomyoma in a 73 year old woman who presented with abdominal pain an d postmenop ausal spotting. A preoperative diagnosis of leiomyoma was made based on ultrasonography findings
