Abstract:
Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign uterine tumors. They are estimated to be present in at least 20% of all women of reproductive age and may be asymptomatic in 40-50% of women older than 40 years of age. They may be subserosal, intramural, or submucosal in location within the uterus or located in the cervix, in the broad ligament, or on a pedicle. But it seems to be rare to experience a intraligamentary huge leiomyoma in the broad ligament.Recently we have experienced a case of intraligamentary huge leiomyoma with its weight of 3146 gm in 45 year-old primiparous woman. We present this case with a brief review of the literature.
