Abstract
Background:
Fewer than 100 cases of leiomyoma of the fallopian tube have been described in the literature; most of them are asymptomatic.
Case:
A woman presented with a tubal pregnancy which, at laparotomy, proved to be distal to a leiomyoma of the tube.
Conclusion:
Tubal myomas may predispose to tubal implantation of a conceptus. To our knowledge, this is the first time a tubal leiomyoma and a tubal pregnancy have been reported in the English literature.
