Abstract

Primary uterine lipoleiomyoms are extremely benign tumors. They are usually seen in perimenopausal and postmenopausal obese women. Average tumor size is reported to be 5 to 10 cm. Most are asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally. The accurate diagnosis of tumors is based on pathological examination. Hysterectomy is the preferred method of treatment. Clinically, they are similar to leiomyomas. Here we present a case with postmenopousal bleeding due to lipoleiomyoma.

Key Words: Lipoleiomyom; Postmenopouse; Pelvic Mass.

Abstract

Uterin primer lipoleiomyomlar oldukça ender görülen benign tümörlerdir. Genellikle perimenopozal ve postmenopozal obez kadınlarda görülürler. Tümör çapının ortalama 5-10 cm olduğu bildirilmiştir. Çoğu asemptomatiktir ve tesadüfen teşhis edilir. Tümörün kesin tanısı patolojik incelemeye dayanmaktadır. Histerektomi tercih edilen tedavi yöntemidir. Klinik olarak leiomyoma benzerler. Postmenopozal kanama nedeniyle başvuran ve histerektomi sonrası lipoleiomyom tanısı alan olguyu sunduk
