“…3,24 Computed tomography (CT) findings are more specific because a CT scan can show a fat component of the lesion clearly, which appears to be low in attenuation with Hounsfield units between -40 and -100. 24,25 Although CT is more specific than USG, CT does have some disadvantages, including an inability to illustrate detailed uterine anatomy and confusion between an adnexal mass and a lesion arising from the uterus, particularly exophytic or pedunculated lesions 3,24,26 as occurred in the current case.…”

Background: Lipoleiomyomas are uncommon benign neoplasms composed of various mixtures of long intersecting bundles of bland smooth-muscle cells and mature adipocytes. These neoplasms are predominantly located in uteri and commonly occur in asymptomatic perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Although radiologic examination is important for preoperative diagnosis and discerning the exact location of a lipoleiomyoma, the final pathologic examination confirms this diagnosis. This case of lipoleiomyoma of the uterus in a premenopausal woman is reported because because of this patient's rare presentation. Case: A 40-year-old, gravida 3, para 3, premenopausal woman presented with pain in her abdomen and dyspepsia for 45 days. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan results were suggestive of a possible mitotic etiology of ovarian origin. An exploratory laparotomy was performed and the neoplasm was examined histologically. Results: During the operation, the mass was found to be a large subserosal cervical fibroid growth, but the patient had healthy ovaries. The histopathology was distinctive and typical of a lipoleiomyoma. Conclusions: It is important to differentiate a lipoleiomyoma from an ovarian neoplasm that requires surgical excision.

“…[3] Mixed lipoma contains variable amounts of fat, fibrous tissue and smooth muscle while pure lipoma is composed of encapsulated adipose tissue with thin septa of fibrous tissue only. [4] Most of the reported cases are of mixed type and lipoleiomyoma is the most common. [3] Pure lipoma of the uterus is extremely rare, with only a handful of cases reported.…”
