Abstract

Uterine lipoleiomyoma is a rare benign neoplasm that falls under the umbrella of uterine leiomyoma. Upon histological examination, leiomyoma is primarily composed of smooth muscle cells of the uterus. Whereas, lipoleiomyoma reveals a characteristic pattern of mature adipocytes interspersed in uterine smooth muscles. This paper is discussing a case of a 60-year-old postmenopausal grand multiparous woman who presented with postmenopausal bleeding. A primary diagnosis of leiomyoma was made, however, histopathological diagnosis revealed its rare variant, lipoleiomyoma.
