Abstract

Objective

Lipoleiomyoma is a rare and easily recognized, benign uterine fatty tumor, composed of an admixture of mature adipocytes and smooth-muscle cells. They may associate with metabolic disorders and rarely reach giant size.

Case

We report a case of symptomatic giant lipoleiomyoma of the uterine corpus that may be associated with diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism.

Conclusion

Lipoleiomyoma must be thought in the differential diagnosis of the giant uterine tumors and should be removed when diagnosed, because malignancy cannot otherwise be excluded. Also the peculiar features of this giant neoplasm, histogenesis, concomitant metabolic disorders and the diagnostic methods are discussed.
