Broad Ligament Lipoleiomyoma Masses Two curious cases masquerading as ovarian carcinomas
Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
Lipoleiomyomas are an extremely rare form of uterine leiomyoma; moreover, the occurrence of this type of tumour on the broad ligament is even rarer. We report two cases of broad ligament lipoleiomyomas in 15- and 38-year-old female patients who presented to the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital in New Delhi, India, between 2016 and 2017. In both cases, the preoperative diagnosis was of a solid ovarian malignancy. Most broad ligament tumours are mistaken for ovarian masses as they are difcult to diagnose radiologically.
