Abstract
Uterine leiomyoma is a common uterine tumor. Because it is a benign uterine tumor, its variants are often underreported by histopathologists. Lipoleiomyoma (LL) is a very rare variant, currently increasingly reported due to increased awareness. Imaging studies can help to locate this tumor but it seldom helps in diagnosing the same. Most of such cases are incidentally/retrospectively reported on gross examination and histopathology after hysterectomy. We report a rare case of lipoleiomyoma occurring in a postmenopausal thin woman with deranged lipid profile.
