Abstract
Uterine leiomyoma is very common in women, but it is extremely rare in adolescence. Herein, we present the case report of uterine leiomyoma in a 14-year-old girl. She was admitted to the hospital with complaints of abdominal distension and a palpable mass. Transabdominal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass with a diameter of 16 cm. Laparotomy and myomectomy were performed. The postoperative period was uneventful. The pathology report was uterine leiomyoma. In the follow-up, there was no pathological sign. Uterine leiomyomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain and pelvic mass in adolescent girls.
