Abstract
Pure lipoma of the uterus is an extremely rare entity. Most of them are postoperative chance findings following hysterectomy for leiomyoma. Uterine lipomas are rare, benign tumours that are part of a spectrum of uterine fatty tumours. Uterine fatty tumors can be subdivided in to pure lipomas, mixed lipomas which include lipoleiyomyoma, fibrolipoma and immature lipoma. The average incidence of uterine fatty tumors ranges from 0.03% to 0.2%. The more common lipomatous tumor is lipo-leiomyoma with varying amounts of the two components. Endometrial carcinoma is the commonest genital tract malignancy among women in western countries. In United States about 41,200 new cases registered every year.
