Parasitic Leiomyoma an Interesting Incidental Finding with Enigmatic Origin- A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Background: Uterine leiomyoma, a benign tumour of smooth muscle, is the most common neoplasm of the female genital tract of reproductive age group. Leiomyomas arise from smooth muscle cells of uterus and rarely from smooth muscle cells of blood vessels or dermal adnexal structures and otherorgans of gastrointestinal system such as stomach and intestines[1] . The case being presented here is rare and interesting variant of leiomyoma observed in clinical practice, based on its growth pattern, often referred as parasitic leiomyoma, which is defined asas leiomyoma that has, due to poorly understood reasons, become partially or almost completely separated from the uterus to become autonomous to receive its main blood supply from another source[2]. A pedunculated leiomyoma arising from serosal surface of uterus develops a long stalk or is freely mobile in the parametrial or pelvic region is referred to as ‘wandering’ or ‘migrating leiomyoma’.
