Abstract
Leiomyomas are a common gynaecological condition affecting 20-30% of women over the age of 35, with prevalence decreasing following menopause. Leiomyomas are most commonly found within the uterus. Rarer extra-uterine locations include the broad ligament, cervix, and vagina. We present an unusual case of multiple Left Broad Ligament Leiomyomata that extended from Left Iliac Fossa and Hypogastrium to Epigastric region in a 50- year-old female. Our case highlights the importance for extra-uterine leiomyoma to be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with huge abdominal mass suspicious of adnexal tumor or malignancy.
