Abstract:

Dissecting leiomyoma of the uterus is a rare benign leiomyoma with the special growth pattern, no special clinical symptoms and no special manifestations in supplementary examinations. The definite diagnosis requires the postoperative pathology and further immunohistochemical examination. We reported a case of dissecting leiomyoma of the uterus, and retrospectively analyzed the clinical data. In this case, the patient was a perimenopausal female and her annual physical examinations showed that the uterine leiomyoma gradually grew, accompanied by excessive menstruation. Pelvic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging results showed uterine leiomyoma with normal tumor markers. Transabdominal myomectomy was performed, and the postoperative pathological diagnosis was dissecting leiomyoma of the uterus.

Key words: Leiomyoma, Uterus, Case reports, Dissecting leiomyoma of the uterus
