Abstract
Leiomyomas are benign and most common smooth muscle neoplasm that can occur in any organ most commonly in uterus, small bowel and esophagus. A spectrum of histological variants is noted and metaplasia in leiomyoma is very rare, while adipose metaplasia in leiomyoma is commonly noted. We present a case of pure cartilaginous metaplasia in leiomyoma which is a very rare phenomenon.
