Abstract
When uterine fibroid occurs in its usual site, presentation, diagnosis and management are straightforward. When it exists in unusual area, the diagnosis becomes challenging. Parasitic leiomyoma is an extremely rare disease. Their unusual growth pattern may even mimic malignancy and can result in clinical dilemma. A 42 years old female with complaints of lump in abdomen since 4 years and amenorhoea since 3 months, was having USG and CT scan findings consistent with heterogenous mass arising from uterus. Intraoperatively, peritoneal soft tissue tumour was found and HPE confirmed the diagnosis of parasitic leiomyoma.
