A Tale of 5Ms: Massive Uterine Leiomyoma Mimicking Ovarian Malignancy along with Multiple Fibroids Displaying Multiple Degenerations

Postmenopausal uterine leiomyoma with hemorrhagic cystic degeneration mimicking ovarian malignancy.

A case of cystic leiomyoma mimicking an ovarian malignancy.

INTRODUCTION We report an unusual case of a large cystic, pedunculated uterine leiomyoma mimicking a primary malignant ovarian tumour on sonography and computed tomography (CT). CLINICAL PICTURE A 56-year-old post-menopausal woman presented with a right pelviabdominal mass. Sonography and CT examination showed a large extrauterine mass arising from the right adnexa and extending into the abdo...

A case report of peritoneal tuberculosis with multiple miliary peritoneal deposits mimicking advanced ovarian carcinoma

Background: Peritoneal tuberculosis accounts 1-2% of all forms of tuberculosis. Peritoneal tuberculosis is an important differential diagnosis for ovarian cancer in women with ascites, adnexal mass and elevated cancer antigen 125 (CA125) levels. We report a case of a 32- year -old woman with multiple miliary peritoneal deposits mimicking advanced ovarian carcinoma. Case Presentation: A 32-ye...

Unilateral ovarian agenesis and clear cell type epithelioid leiomyoma of uterus mimicking ovarian malignancy.

A case of unilateral absent ovary together with clear cell type epithelioid leiomyoma of uterus mimicking ovarian malignancy discovered during laparotomy is presented. Unilateral absence of an ovary is an extremely rare finding. Although the exact pathophysiological mechanism is not known, it could result from a defect in embryological development or asymptomatic torsion of ovary. Clear cell ty...

Leiomyoma with Degeneration Mimicking an Ovarian Neoplasm

Leiomyoma of the uterus is the most common tumor of the female pelvis, arising from the uterine smooth muscle. Its prevalence increases during the reproductive age and is seen in nearly half of the women over the age of 35 [1]. Large myomas with degenerations located towards the adnexa may mimic an ovarian neoplasm and can impose a challenge in its diagnosis. Radiological modalities like ultras...
