ABSTRACT
RATIONALE Primary ovarian leiomyoma is a rare benign tumor. The exact histological origin and pathogenesis of primary ovarian leiomyoma are still unclear, while its preoperative imaging diagnosis is often challenging and prone to misdiagnosis. The study aims to elucidate the diagnosis of primary ovarian leiomyoma and to distinguish it from fibroma. PATIENT CONCERNS A 34-year-old female was admitted to the hospital with complaints of pelvic mass found for one year. One years ago, the patient went to a local hospital for examination due to irregular menstruation. DIAGNOSES The ultrasound report of the patient showed ovarian teratoma. The postoperative pathological results showed ovarian leiomyoma and calcification. INTERVENTIONS:
The patient underwent laparoscopic right ovarian leiomyoma resection.OUTCOMES:
The patient was discharged home three days after surgery. At the most recent follow-up (five months after operation) of the patients, ultrasound was performed and no abnormal echoes were suggested in the adnexal region. LESSONS In the diagnosis of primary ovarian leiomyoma, our case emphasizes the importance of microscopic features as an effective approach to distinguish it from ovarian fibroma, leiomyosarcoma, and stromal tumors. Additionally, personalized treatment should be considered based on the patient age and fertility needs.
