Uterine Lipoleiomyoma in a Premenopausal lady: Rare Presentation of an Uncommon Entity
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Lipoleiomyoma is one of the rarest benign neoplasms of uterus; reported incidence is under 0.2%. It is often regarded as a variant of the commoner tumor, leiomyoma. It can mimic lipomatous tumours radiologically due to presence of variable amount of fat intermixed with smooth muscles and may pose diagnostic challenge. Clinically it is indistinguishable from other benign uterine neoplasms. This uncommon tumor is usually recognized during routine histopathological examination of hysterectomy or myomectomy specimens. Most reported cases are women in pre- and post-menopausal age groups. Only about 10% cases are under 40 years. Here we report a case of lipoleiomyoma of uterus in a 37 year old lady presented with irregular uterine bleeding, diagnosed incidentally on histopathological examination of the hysterectomy specimen. We report this rare entity for its unusual age at presentation.
