چکیده
Leiomyomas are benign tumors usually found in the uterus although other organs such as the vagina and the ovaries can be involved. The most common etiology of tubal disorders is infection, but tubal leiomyomas remain a rare possibility.

In this case report, diagnostic measures and the difficulties encountered are discussed.
