Abstract:
Leiomyomas are mostly located in the uterus.Retroperitoneal presentation of leiomyomas are rare and have a greater diagnostic challenge.Because retroperinoteal tumours are quite rare and mostly malignant. Therefore, differantial diagnosis is difficult.We report a rare case of retroperitoneal leiomyomatosis, in which there were concurrent leiomyomas in uterus, pelvic and paraaortic regions that are adjacent to pelvic and paraaortic vascular structures.The patient underwent type 1 hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and had a total excision of the myomas from adjacent structures. Histological examination of the surgical specimen revealed that leiomyoma. She has been disease -free for 24 months now.
