Parovarian cysts constitute 10% of adnexal masses. They were found in broad ligament and mostly arise from mesothelium and less commonly from paramesonephric element and rarely from mesonephric element. In most cases parovarian cysts were asymptomatic. So, they were found incidentally at surgery for other conditions. Torsion is infrequent and it is difficult to distinguish it from torsion of other adnexal masses, appendicitis, etc. Recently, we experienced a voluminous parovarian cyst undergoing torsion, 25 cm in diameter. The case is presented with a review of literature.

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.

Cystic lymphangioma of the broad ligament is very rare benign cystic lesion. They rarely present in adult life. We present the case of a 37-year-old female with a history of chronic recurrent left lower abdominal dull pain over a period of several months. Clinical presentation of these tumors varies greatly from an asymptomatic mass to serious complications. The therapy of choice is a complete excision, unless vital structures were involved. Once excised, the prognosis is excellent. Our patient had complete excision of her lesion with a good outcome.

Paraovarian cysts arise in the mesosalpinx, between the ovarian hilum and the fallopian tube. Clinical significance of paraovarian tumors is considerably less frequent than ovarian tumors, and malignant paraovarian lesions are exceedingly rare. Paraovarian carcinomas or borderline malignancy mostly occur in young women. Abdominal enlargement and pelvic pain are the usual complaints. Usually they have a capsule, are unilateral and are connected to the broad ligament. Little is known about the biological behavior of the paraovarian borderline malignancies, since these lesions are so rare. The appropriate therapy for this unusual lesion have not been fully defined. We had experienced a case of papillary serous adenocarcinoma of borderline malignancy and report this case with a brief review of literature.

Angiomyoma is a rare, benign, mesenchymal tumor occurring mainly in the female genital tract and higher incidence in the fourth to sixth decades of life. It is originated from smooth muscle cells and contains thick-walled vessels. The most satisfactory treatment is complete excision. We experienced a case of the broad ligamentary angiomyoma that was treated by complete excision with a brief review of literature.
