Primary pure lipoma of the uterus-a case report

Pure lipoma of the uterus is a rare entity and only few cases have been reported in the literature. They usually develop in postmenopausal women. Clinical symptoms and physical signs are similar to those found in uterine leiomyomas. The histogenesis of these lesions is still unclear. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult and should be confirmed postoperatively on histopathology. We report a case of pure uterine lipoma in a 52 year old woman who presented with abdominal pain and intermittent vaginal bleeding.
