Abstract:
Leiomyomas are benign soft tissue swellings of smooth
muscle origin, most commonly found in the uterus. Extra
uterine leiomyomas presenting as an abdominal mass is
often a diagnostic challenge as such occurrence is rare. We
present a rare case of primary abdominal wall leiomyoma,
and highlight the importance of laparoscopic approach in
the diagnosis and treatment of such tumour.
