Abstract:
A uterine lipoleiomyoma in a 43-year-old woman is described and pathological correlation of the diagnosis provided. The lesion appeared in transabdominal ultrasonography (US) scans as highly echogenic areas producing the marked attenuation typical of a lipomatous tumour of the uterus. In this case US alone was specific enough to allow tissue characterization and establish an accurate preoperative diagnosis.
