Abstract

Introduction:
Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign uterine tumors. Leiomyoma is generally a firm and rubbery solid tumor. Infrequently, cystic or myxoid degeneration occurs in the tumor.
Case Report: We report a case of large solid-cystic myxoid leiomyoma arising from posterior side of the uterus in a 47-year-old woman. She complained of pelvic discomfort, feeling of heaviness and had a palpable sub-umbilical mass. She had hysterectomy with salpingo-oophorectomy and mass ablation. Final histological findings confirmed a uterine myxoid leiomyoma. Conclusion: ***ADD TEXT OF ABSTRACT CONCLUSION HERE*** | |
