Cervical lipoleiomyoma in premenopausal woman: a rare case report
Keywords:
Lipoleiomyoma, Cervical polyp, Tumor, leiomyomaAbstract
Lipoleiomyoma is a rare benign tumor and predominantly located in the uterus with an estimated incidence of 0.03% to 0.2%. Lipoleiomyoma usually occur in uterine corpus, predominantly intramurally, less commonly subserosal and submucosal. Clinical manifestations of lipoleiomyoma are identical to those of uterine leiomyoma. Histologically lipoleiomyomas consist of spindle-shaped smooth-muscle cells in a whorled pattern admixed with varying amounts of mature adipose tissue.
We report here a rare case of cervical lipoleiomyoma which was misdiagnosed as cervical polyp in a 38 year-old woman who had continuous per vaginal bleeding for three and half months.
