Symplastic leiomyoma is a rare histological variant of leiomyoma. This is a case report of a young nulliparous patient who presented with primary infertility for 2 years and swelling in lower abdomen for 6 months. Intramural fibroid was diagnosed during a pelvic ultrasound. Histopathology of that myomectomy showed symplastic leiomyoma with absent mitotic figures. The patient was managed as for a benign tumor.

Article Synopsis
- Leiomyomas are non-cancerous tumors of the uterine smooth muscle that can have various forms and are known to undergo secondary changes, sometimes resembling more serious conditions.
- A rare type called cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma (CDL) can appear as large, abnormal masses, leading to misdiagnosis as cancer due to its size and complexity.
- The article includes a case study of a 65-year-old woman with CDL, highlighting the need for awareness among healthcare professionals to prevent unnecessary aggressive treatments.

Leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei (LBN), also known as symplastic leiomyoma, is a histological subtype of benign leiomyoma with bizarre cells and nuclear atypia. Differentiating LBN from other benign leiomyoma subtypes, uterine smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP), or leiomyosarcoma (LMS) can be diagnostically challenging owing to overlapping features in clinical presentation and pathologic morphological analysis. The difficulty of distinguishing LBN from other lesions, especially from LMS, and the potential of LBN for subsequent malignant transformation make LBN an important topic of research.
