“…In rare cases, extraabdominal lesions have also been reported. Basara Akin et al [ 4 ] reported a lipoleiomyoma in the parasternal area, in the peripheral part of upper inner quadrant of breast, and Vasconcelos et al [ 5 ] reported a large intraperitoneal lipoleiomyoma (36 cm) connected by a stalk to the parietal peritoneum. To the best of our knowledge, this current case is the first report of an extraabdominal parasitic lipoleiomyoma observed in the inguinal area.…”

Extrauterine parasitic lipoleiomyoma is a very rare fatty tumor, with uncertain histopathogenesis. Although imaging studies play an important role in preoperative localization and diagnosis of lipoleiomyoma, a pathological evaluation is paramount for confirmation of diagnosis. We describe a case of a 49-year-old woman with a palpable mass in the right inguinal area. Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a fluid- and fat-containing mass. Histopathological examination of the mass, which was successfully resected, confirmed the diagnosis of lipoleiomyoma. The patient was discharged on a postoperative day 2 without any complications.

“…A biopsy with histological analysis is required to make an accurate diagnosis of the lipoleiomyoma. Although the most common location for this tumor is the uterine corpus [1,4], it has been found in other sites, including the breast [5], the broad ligament of the uterus [6], and intraperitoneal [7]. Most patients will present with abdominal cramping and symptoms similar to a leiomyoma, including pelvic pain, a noticeably enlarged mass of the abdomen, and dysmenorrhea.…”

Lipoleiomyoma is a type of tumor usually found in the uterine corpus. The pathophysiology is unclear; however, it is commonly seen in obese perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. While intrauterine lipoleiomyoma may be surveilled, there is less information about the management of extrauterine lipoleiomyoma, especially significantly large tumors. This is a case involving a 51-year-old female who was incidentally found to have a 23-cm extrauterine lipoleiomyoma emanating from the peritoneum between uterosacral ligaments. She underwent handassisted laparoscopic removal of an intra-abdominal tumor, which was found to be an extrauterine lipoleiomyoma. Six months later, she was found to have a recurrent mass on a follow-up computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis. She underwent a robotic-assisted total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and removal of the recurrent tumor.While the mass is benign in nature, the mass effect that it may cause prompts a discussion about the best course of management and an investigation into recurrence rates, specifically in similar extrauterine presentations.
