Description
Summary:Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign neoplasms found in women of reproductive age. Lipoleiomyoma, a rare variant of leiomyomas, is composed of intermixed smooth muscle cells and mature adipocytes. These neoplasms are usually discovered incidentally in obese, perimenopausal, or postmenopausal women.
