Ruchi Sinha, L. K. Pandey, Sulekha Pandey, Keerti Parashar

Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;Leiomyomas are commonly encountered in woman of reproductive age group. Parasitic leiomyomas are uncommon variant of uterine leiomyomas. We are presenting a rare case of large parasitic leiomyoma in the peritoneal cavity of 38yrs woman from India with degenerative changes and deriving its blood supply from omentum. Majority of uterine leiomyomas are confidently diagnosed clinically and sonographically. However, large, degenerated or atypical tumours-like parasitic leiomyoma as in our case- may be a diagnostic challenge</p>
