Abstract

A case of uterine fibromyolipoma in a 75 year old woman suffering from an uterine prolapse is reported. The clinical course, the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics are presented and compared with those in the medical literature. The possible histogenesis is discussed. Our case seems to results from metamorphosis of uterine smooth muscle cells in a leiomyoma.
