Abstract
Parasitic myomas are very rare tumours and hence they pose a real challenge to a clinician to have a correct preoperative clinical diagnosis. It may present with variable symptoms or maybe asymptomatic. We present this case of a large pedunculated highly vascular myoma of 36 wks size uterus( 6.5kg) acquiring its blood supply from omentum and small gut mesentry mimicking a GIST tumor. Clinical and histopathological presentation and management is discussed in the current case.
