Abstract

Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign neoplasms found in women of reproductive age. Lipoleiomyoma, a rare variant of leiomyomas, is composed of intermixed smooth muscle cells and mature adipocytes. These neoplasms are usually discovered incidentally in obese, perimenopausal, or postmenopausal women. In this report, we present a case of lipoleiomyoma in a postmenopausal woman who presented with vaginal bleeding and back pain.

Keywords: leiomyoma variant; postmenopause; smooth muscle; uterine fatty tumors; uterine lipoleiomyoma.
