“…Ovarian leiomyoma was first described by Sangli following which about 80 cases of the same are reported in literature. 2 Most ovarian leiomyomas are small, usually less than 3 cm in diameter, asymptomatic, unilateral and found incidentally in premenopausal women 3 .Though our patient belonged to the reproductive age group and had unilateral ovarian tumour in line with the above description, she presented with abdominal pain and had a large mass. She was found to have twisted ovarian tumour which is probably the first reported case of torsion of ovarian leiomyoma.…”

We report an uncommon case of primary ovarian leiomyoma with torsion. Leiomyoma of the ovary is an extremely rare benign solid neoplasm of uncertain etiology. Our patient presented with abdominal pain and imaging showed right adnexal solid mass. All tumour markers except LDH were normal. The patient underwent laparotomy proceed right salpingo-ophorectomy. Intraoperatively, it was found to be twisted right ovarian solid tumour and histopathological examination revealed leiomyoma of ovary.

Introduction: Ovarian masses quite frequently appear before us in gynecological practice. In the present study, our purpose was to determine the types and age range of masses detected in ovarian surgeries in and around the city of Kırsehir. Material and Methods: The study was conducted in the retrospective fashion on the pathology reports of 93 patients, who had histopathological examination in the pathology clinic due to ovarian mass between January 2015 and July 2018. The diagnoses of the patients were divided in pathological terms into 5 groups as the epithelial tumors, sex-cord stromal tumors, germ-cell tumors, other primary tumor groups, and ovarian pathologies that were not neoplastic. Results: Epithelial tumors were determined to be 38.7%, sex-cord stromal tumors were 8.6%, germ-cell tumors were 4.3%, other primary tumor group was 1.1%, and ovarian pathologies that were not neoplastic were 47.3%. When the age groups were evaluated, it was determined that the rates were 9.6% in the 10-20 age range; 12.9% in the 21-30 age range; 35.4% in the 31-40 age range; 30.1% in the 41-50 age range; and 11.8% in the 51+ age group. Conclusion: In surgeries carried out due to reasons that are not malign in the ovary, approximately half of these surgeries are carried out because of the temporary ovarian pathologies.

“…Primary ovarian leiomyoma is a rare benign tumour of the ovary seen in women usually between 20 and 65 years old. 1,4 Though it has been reported in premenarchal girl as well. 3 Ovarian leiomyomas arise from smooth muscle cells in the ovarian hilar blood vessels, with other proposed origins being cells in the ovarian ligament, smooth muscle cells or multipotential cells in the ovarian stroma, and cortical smooth muscle metaplasia.…”

Authors present a rare case of primary ovarian leiomyoma in a young female with premature ovarian failure. A 39-year-old female with premature ovarian failure presented with large unilateral adnexal mass, with mildly elevated CA-125 levels, underwent staging laparotomy where the left ovarian mass along with tubes was removed. Contralateral ovary and uterus were preserved. Final diagnosis was Primary ovarian leiomyoma on histopathology and immunohistochemical analysis. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult with solid ovarian tumors. In presence of mildly elevated CA-125 and negative tumor markers, ovarian leiomyoma must be considered as a differential diagnosis and conservative surgery be planned as these patients are desirous of future fertility options. Definitive diagnosis is confirmed by histopathology and immunohistochemical analysis.
