A Case of Large Cystic Myxoid Leiomyoma in Uterine Round Ligament / 대한산부인과학회지

Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign uterine tumor. They may be subserosal, intramural, or submucosal in location within the uterus or located in the cervix, in the broad ligament, or on a pedicle. But leiomyoma of the round ligament of the uterus is a rare condition occurring predominantly in premenopausal middle-age women, which is usually single and unilateral. In 50% of patients, they are associated with similar lesion of the uterus. Recently we have experienced a case of large cystic myxoid leiomyoma of the round ligament of the uterus misdiagnosed as an ovarian tumor in 32 year-old multiparous woman. We report this case with a brief review of literatures.

A case of Primary Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma of the Round Ligament / 대한산부인과학회잡지

In adults, although malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is the most frequent malignant soft tissue tumor. Primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the round ligament of the uterus is comparatively very rare. A patient presented with severe lower abdominal pain and a palpable pelvic mass in the lower abdomen. Emergency laparotomy revealed a 15 X 15 cm tumor located in the left round ligament and adhered with uterus and intestine. The patient underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy. The final diagnosis was based on the pathological report of the surgical specimen.
