ABSTRACT
Leiomyomas are very common tumors in the uterus and related adjacent structures but rare in the retroperitoneal space. Retroperitoneal leiomyomas are extremely rare and have a good prognosis. Long-term follow-up reveals no metastasis but small potential for local recurrences cannot be ruled out. We report a 44-years-old woman with retroperitoneal leiomyomas who had undergone total abdominal hysterectomy and left salpingooophorectomy 8 years ago due to uterine leiomyomas. Laparotomy was performed, and mass excision was successful.
