Bilateral Ovarian Leiomyoma in Postmenopausal Women: A Case Report

DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.237

ABSTRACT

Primary leiomyoma of the ovary is a very rare tumour which mostly occurs in premenopausal women. The patients are mostly asymptomatic and it is diagnosed incidentally by histological examination of their ovarian tissue by the pathologist after the removal of the ovary.

We first report the case of a bilateral primary ovarian leiomyoma in a 53-year-old postmenopausal woman.
