Cystic Degeneration of Uterine Fibroid Mimicking a Malignant Uterine Neoplasm on MRI

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...

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...

Cystic Endometriosis in a Huge Degenerated Subserous Leiomyoma Mimicking Bilateral Multicystic Endometriomas in an Infertile Woman with Diminished Ovarian Reserve: A Rare Endometriotic Implantation

Uterine leiomyomas are the most common pelvic tumor in women. Leiomyoma can show atypical locations and degenerations and may not be easily differentiated from adnexal masses. Uterine leiomyoma can undergo cystic degeneration and is said to be found in 4% of all types of degenerations. The commonest type of degeneration is hyaline seen in 60% of patients. Usually uterine leiomyoma does not pres...

Diagnostic dilemma in Broad Ligament Leiomyoma with Cystic Degeneration

UNLABELLED Fibroids are smooth muscle benign tumors; most commonly arise from uterus but may also rise from extra uterine sites like broad ligament. This case report of broad ligament myoma with extensive cystic degeneration is presented for its rarity and diagnostic challenges as they mimic pelvic adenexal tumors. Mrs. X, 43 years old p5+2, asymptomatic women with no co-morbids presented with ...
