Abstract
We report two cases of broad ligament leiomyoma. Extrauterine leiomyoma remains an uncommon site to occur. Usually these tumors remains asymptomatic. When the lesion became large they present with various clinical manifestations. This rare entity is usually misdiagnosed preoperatively even with diagnostic imaging. In our cases it mimicking as ovarian/ adnexal tumor. We are reporting these interesting cases with clinical, radiological and histopathological findings for its rarity.
