Background: Myolipoma is a benign tumour in which smooth muscle cells are mixed with adipocytes.
Case Presentation: A 34-year old lady presented with a mass in the right iliac fossa detected on computerised tomographic (CT) scan. Wide excision of the retroperitoneal mass was done. Histopathology showed features of myolipoma. There was no recurrence or metastasis at three years.
Conclusion: Myolipoma is a rare benign entity; hence a benign course and good prognosis are expected.

Myolipomas are rare tumors that are often difficult to differentiate from liposarcoma. Herein, we report a case of resected giant myolipoma preoperatively diagnosed as liposarcoma. A 63-year-old woman was suspected of having a large retroperitoneal liposarcoma on October 202X.

A variety of benign and malignant retroperitoneal mesenchymal lesions may have a component of adipose tissue, including entities such as lipoma, myolipoma, angiomyolipoma, solitary fibrous tumor, genital stromal tumors, and well-differentiated/dedifferentiated liposarcoma. Although definitive diagnosis is usually straightforward on the complete resection specimen, it is often more difficult to workup these lesions on small biopsy samples. This review focuses on challenging diagnostic scenarios of retroperitoneal lesions with a "fatty" component and provides major differential diagnoses for commonly encountered morphologic patterns, clinicopathologic features of the various entities, and strategy for use of ancillary techniques, such as immunohistochemistry and cytogenetic studies.

The authors report on a case of benign myolipoma (synonym lipoleiomyoma) which was first described in 1991. The benign soft tissue tumor is composed of smooth muscle and adipose tissue and occurs sporadically in different locations. In the available literature cases were described retroperitoneal, spinal, orbital and subcutaneous and mostly have been discovered in females.

Introduction: Myolipoma of soft tissue is an extremely rare benign lipomatous lesion. The lesions are most commonly located in the abdominal cavity, retroperitoneum, and inguinal areas. Despite their large size, myolipomas are cured by surgical resection.

A 47-year-old women referred to our hospital with sudden left lower abdominal pain and state of shock in April 2006. Computed tomographic (CT) scan revealed a retroperitoneal hematoma and we suspected a renal tumor or angio myolipoma but enhanced CT scan show bleeding from a left renal artery. We perfomed left renal artery angiography and admitted a arteryal stenosis.
