Giant Primary Ovarian Leiomyoma- A Diagnostic Dilemma
Journal Title: Journal of Anesthesia and Surgery - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Leiomyoma are rare benign ovarian neoplasms accounting for less than 1% of all the benign ovarian lesions. They frequently affect women of reproductive age group and involve bilateral ovaries. Majority of these tumours remain asymptomatic and are detected incidentally during physical examination or surgery. They are rarely diagnosed preoperatively owing to lack of characteristic radiological features. Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment. We are presenting a case of bilateral ovarian primary leiomyoma which was misdiagnosed as germ cell tumour on preoperative imaging.
