Abstract

Lipoleiomyoma is an infrequent benign neoplasm of the uterus and is considered as a variant of uterine myomas. Their incidence varies from 0.03 to 0.2% in various reports. Lipoleiomyomas are made up of a varying proportion of mature adipocytes and smooth muscle cells. Lipoleiomyomas usually occur in asymptomatic perimenopausalor menopausal obese women. We, hereby, report a case of uterine lipoleiomyoma of the uterus.
