“…Although these tumors were benign and rare of them had abnormal histologic features, radical surgeries were usually done for their complete removal because the ovary might become almost completely absorbed by the tumor or just persist portions [50]. A common surgical approach was salpingo-oophorectomy or an oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy,but an ovary-preserving surgery should be suggested in young and fertility-sparing women [51].…”

Background: Leiomyomas are the most common pelvic tumors in fertile women and rare conditions of them have extrauterine locations. Ovarian Leiomyoma accounts only for 0.5 to 1% of all benign ovarian tumors with fewer than 60 cases reported in a manner of case report. Here we present a series of eight patients over a six-year period(2012-2018). The clinico-pathological features, diagnosis and management were discussed. Case presentation: We had experienced eight cases of ovarian leiomyoma.The clinical features,pathologic findings,diagnosis, treatment were reviewed. The mean age of these patients was 38.5 years. The majority of these patients may be asymptomatic and usually diagnosed incidentally during pelvic examination or pathologic examination after surgery. Six cases presented only with pelvic mass sized from 2 to 20 cm and even some patients persisted for more than twenty years while the other two were diagnosed due to four years of primary infertile or three months of irregular vagina bleeding. Three patients coincident with uterine leiomyoma while the others not. Three had ovarian leiomyoma degenerated and one case had a evidence of atypical 4/10. Conclusions : ovarian leiomyoma was very rare but it should be considered in the diagnosis of pelvic or ovarian solid masses. Magnetic resonance imaging was provital in its different diagnose while fast frozen pathology during operation was very necessary for its surgical decision. A proper surgical decision should be made according to patients age.

“…There is still no consensus on the origin of ovarian leiomyoma. Some scholars classify that it may originate from the blood vessels in the hilum of the ovary and the smooth muscle of the ovarian ligament, 7 whereas others point to the ovary cortex, ovary stroma 8 and other smooth muscle components in ovarian tumors. It is reported that about 78% of ovarian leiomyoma were associated with leiomyoma of uterus and they may have a common trigger 9 …”
