Broad ligament is very uncommon site for presentation of leiomyoma. On account of their size and nature, clinically they may present variably. We are presenting a rare case of leiomyoma of broad ligament in 35 years old premenstrual female who presented with complains of lump in abdomen. On clinical and radiological examination it was found to be large cystic intrabdominal mass suspected to be a mesenteric cyst and confirmed histopathologically as leiomyoma of broad ligament. We present this case on account of its rarity, diagnostic difficulties posed and its successful removal through small incision after laparoscopic mobilization.

Abstract


Broad ligament is very uncommon site for presentation of leiomyoma. On account of their size and nature, clinically they may present variably. We are presenting a rare case of leiomyoma of broad ligament in 35 years old premenstrual female who presented with complains of lump in abdomen. On clinical and radiological examination it was found to be large cystic intrabdominal mass suspected to be a mesenteric cyst and confirmed histopathologically as leiomyoma of broad ligament. We present this case on account of its rarity, diagnostic difficulties posed and its successful removal through small incision after laparoscopic mobilization.
