Abstract

Leiomyoma is the most common solid tumour of the broad ligament. However, leiomyoma is the most common benign tumour of the uterus and the most common female genital neoplasm. Leiomyomas affect 30% of all women of reproductive age. The differential diagnosis of broad-ligament leiomyoma should be considered in cases of an adnexal mass.
