Abstract:
Uterine leiomyoma is one of the most common gynecological tumor, whereas acute torsion of the uterine leiomyoma is very rare. We report a case of subserosal leiomyoma that was first detected by ultrasonography, and further confirmed as torsion of subserosal leiomyoma by laparoscopic surgery.
