Abstract:Uterine lipoleiomyoma is uncommon and rare entity. Although presumed to be benign, it has been inadequately studied. Its incidence is reported as 0.03–0.2%. Clinically the symptoms are indistinguishable from an ordinary leiomyoma. Lipoleiomyoma consists of variable proportion of mature adipocytes and smooth muscle cells. A 49 year old post-menopausal female presented with complaints of abnormal uterine bleeding and pain in abdomen since two months. On USG multiple fibroids were detected and Patient was diagnosed with fibroid uterus and was operated upon.Gross examination of the hysterectomy specimen revealed multiple subserosalleiomyomas. On histopathology, diagnosis of uterine lipoleiomyoma was given. It is not so common tumor and so it should be kept as differential diagnosis in the pelvic region. Keywords:Lipoleiomyoma, uterus, Hysterectomy.
