Giant Bizarre Shaped Leiomyoma in the Folds of Broad Ligament in a Hysterectomised Woman
نویسندگان
چکیده
Giant fibroids are known to arise from the uterus and very rarely from the broad ligament and that too after hysterectomy. We report an interesting case of broad ligament fibroid which developed after hysterectomy. The patient presented with incidental finding of a huge mass and pain in abdomen after 6 years of abdominal hysterectomy for multiple fibroids in uterus. Laparotomy was done which revealed a huge, bizarre shaped mass seen originating between the two folds of right sided broad ligament and completely occupying the whole pelvic cavity. Bilateral ovaries were normal. Histopathology of the mass confirmed it to be leiomyoma. This mass could probably be a remnant that has grown to this size taking blood supply directly from the internal iliac vessels as revealed on MRI. We report this case because it is a very rare entity to encounter such huge broad ligament fibroids occurring after removal of uterus.
