Abstract
Uterine lipoleiomyoma is a rare subtype of leiomyoma composed of bundles of smooth muscle and fat. The majority of cases tend to be small and are usually diagnosed incidentally in obese postmenopausal women. Hereby we presented a large uterine lipoleiomyoma in a premenopausal woman who presented with abnormal uterine bleeding. This case report highlights clinicoradiopathologic features of uterine lipoleiomyoma and briefly reviews the existing literature.
