RESUMEN
Los tumores lipomatosos uterinos son lesiones generalmente benignas, de patogenia incierta y muy baja incidencia. Habitualmente se presentan en mujeres posmenopáusicas y el diagnóstico preoperatorio es difícil debido a que se confunden clínicamente y ecográficamente con leiomiomas. Usualmente son asintomáticos pero pueden manifestarse con metrorragia, dolor pélvico y masa palpable. El tumor lipomatoso uterino más frecuente es el lipoma mixto cuya denominación dependerá de las proporciones de tejido adiposo y conectivo que lo constituyan. El manejo puede ser conservador o quirúrgico dependiendo del tamaño y sintomatología de la paciente. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 50 años, con un tumor uterino diagnosticado preoperatoriamente como leiomioma y con diagnóstico histopatológico de lipoleiomioma.
ABSTRACT
The uterine lipomatous tumors are usually benign lesions, of uncertain pathogenesis and very low incidence. They are often presented in postmenopausal women and the preoperative diagnosis is difficult because they are confounded clinically and sonographically with leiomyomas. They are frequently asymptomatic but may present with metrorrhagia, pelvic pain and palpable mass. The most common uterine lipomatous tumor is the mixed lipoma whose denomination depends on the proportions of fat and connective tissue. The conservative or surgical management will depend on the size of the tumor and the patient symptoms. We present a case report of a 50 year- old woman with a uterine tumor diagnosed preoperatively as leiomyoma and whose histopathological diagnosis was lipoleiomyoma.
