Abstract
Pure lipoma of the uterus is a rare entity and few cases have been reported. They usually develop in postmenopausal women. Clinical symptoms and physical signs are similar to those found in leiomyomas. The histogenesis of these lesions is still unclear. The diagnosis is easily made at the time of surgery or at autopsy, but before this, they may lead to many problems in the differential diagnosis with another uterine tumors. Recent papers suggest the possibility of a preoperative diagnosis made by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. We report a case of a 67-year-old postmenopausal women presented with pelvic pressure and urinary symptoms. Pathological evaluation revealed pure intramural lipoma of the uterus illustrating characteristic morphological and histological findings with no evidence of sarcomata's component.
