Leiomyoma with Degeneration Mimicking an Ovarian Neoplasm

چکیده
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 ultrasonography and MRI may aid in differentiating the two. We report an unusual case of a large, cystic, pedunculated uterine leiomyoma mimicking an ovarian tumor which misled the radiologist and the surgeon pre-operatively.
