Uterine Lipoleiomyoma in a Young Female- A Rare Case Report with Review of Literature

Lipoleiomyoma is a rare benign uterine tumour consisting of smooth muscles and mature adipose tissue. Most cases of lipoleiomyomas cannot be distinguished clinically from leiomyoma and to a large extent diagnosis can be made on the typical gross appearance of the tumour. Incidence of this neoplasm is estimated to be 0.03-0.2%. The majority of patients do not report any symptoms. Almost all of the cases of lipoleiomyoma have been reported in postmenopausal women and predominantly located in the uterus; however, extrauterine locations have been reported as well. We are reporting a case of lipoleiomyoma of uterus in a 28 yrs old female. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only case reported of lipoleiomyoma of uterus at such an early age.
