A Uterine Lipoleiomyoma of the Broad Ligament Mimicking an Ovarian Tumor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Uterine lipoleiomyomas are rare benign lesions composed of mature adipose tissue and smooth muscle cells. Uterine lipoleiomyomas are mostly found in the fundus or cervix and extremely rare in the broad ligament. Preoperative diagnosis of lipoleiomyoma of the broad ligament is very difficult due to its similarity to ovarian tumor. We report a 56-year-old menopausal woman with huge lipoleiomyoma of the broad ligament mimicking an ovarian tumor that treated with total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy.

The rare phenomenon of tumor-to-tumor metastasis was first described in 1930. The donor neoplasm is most frequently lung or breast carcinoma, whereas intracranial meningiomas are reportedly the commonest recipient neoplasm. Here we report a case of metastasis from a primary gastric cancer to a uterine lipoleiomyoma. A 65-year-old woman presented with locally advanced gastric cancer with compute...
