presentation of brain tumors depends on the location, size of the tumors, and growth rate of the neoplasm. [1] There is a high morbidity and mortality in these tumors irrespective of their histological grade. [4] The primary brain tumors involve about two-third of all central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms. [5] According to the WHO classification, CNS tumors have extensive classification and subtypes.

Calcified broad ligament leiomyoma is a rare benign lesion in postmenopausal age group. It causes diagnostic confusion with solid calcified adnexal mass and large bladder calculi at the pelvic region. Clinical and radiological diagnoses were confirmed by histopathology of the hysterectomy specimen. We hereby present a case of heavily calcified broad ligament fibroid in a postmenopausal woman.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
