Abstract
Leiomyomas are benign and common smooth muscle neoplasms, occurring commonly in uterus. A spectrum of histological variants and secondary changes may accompany this entity; however ossification in a leiomyoma is a rare phenomenon. We hereby report a case of a 50 year old lady, with pain abdomen since two months, who underwent hysterectomy for multiple fibroids. The largest fibroid showed a focus of ossification along with hyaline degeneration, the documentation of this being very rare in literature.
