“…Uterine lipoleiomyoma occur most frequently in postmenopausal women in the age group of 50-70 years. It is usually well circumscribed within thin connective tissue capsule and mostly located in posterior wall of uterine corpus [7]. These may be single or multiple, usually measuring 5-10 cm but can range from few mm to 32 cm in size [1].…”

Fatty tumours of the uterus are exceedingly rare. Lipoleiomyoma of the uterus is a rare benign uterine tumour thought to be a variation of leiomyoma. The presence of fatty tissue in the myometrium is anomalous, interpreted as lipomatous degeneration, smooth muscle metaplasia or as a benign tumour called as lipoleiomyoma. Imaging can play an important role in determining the intrauterine location and fatty nature of lipoleiomyomas but most of these are detected by chance pathological findings postoperatively. We report a case of lipoleiomyoma in anterior uterine wall in 66 years old postmenopausal female, who presented with postmenopausal bleeding.

“…Uterine lipoma can mimic a variety of other uterine neoplasms including malignancy. They might be misdiagnosed as sarcomas due to the old age of the patients, rapid progression of abdominal swelling, abdominal pain, and the well-circumscribed hyperechoic texture on ultrasonography [ 10 ].…”

Background. Fatty uterine tumors, especially pure uterine lipoma, are very rare, but clinically and radiologically, they can mimic other primary benign and malignant uterine neoplasms. Case Report. A multipara 61-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding for 3 months. Assessment by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a hyperechoic mass in the uterine corpus. Furthermore, during radiologic investigation, there was an incidental isoechoic mass in the left lobe of the liver. Pure uterine lipoma and hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia were diagnosed. Conclusion. Pure lipoma of the uterus, even though rare, has to be kept in the differential diagnosis of uterine neoplasms, especially in postmenopausal women. Till now, just a few concurrent tumors have been reported with pure uterine lipoma, and among them, FNH is the first extragenital tumor.

Lipoleiomyoma is an infrequent benign neoplasm of the uterus and is considered as a variant of uterine myomas. Their incidence varies from 0.03 to 0.2% in various reports. Lipoleiomyomas are made up of a varying proportion of mature adipocytes and smooth muscle cells. Lipoleiomyomas usually occur in asymptomatic perimenopausalor menopausal obese women. We, hereby, report a case of uterine lipoleiomyoma of the uterus.
