AI Article Synopsis
- Pure uterine lipomas are very rare benign tumors that can resemble more common uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) in imaging studies.
- The case discusses a 68-year-old woman who had surgery for a suspected fibroid but was found to have a pure uterine lipoma, confirmed through histological examination.
- The authors emphasize that surgical treatment is appropriate for symptomatic patients, as uterine lipomas can clinically mimic fibroids.
Article Abstract
Pure uterine lipomas are extremely rare benign uterine tumors. This paper presents the case of a 68-year-old patient with symptomatic leiomyoma-like fundus formation on ultrasound. A hysterectomy was performed with anterior vaginal plastic surgery as a treatment option for concomitant cystocele grade II. Histological diagnosis of pure uterine lipoma with S-100 positive immunohistochemical staining was confirmed. This case shows us that uterine lipoma clinically and diagnostically mimics myoma very well. We believe that surgery as a therapeutical approach is justified in symptomatic patients.
