Abstract EN
Masses of the round ligament of the uterus are uncommon.
Leiomyomas are the most common of them, followed by mesothelial cysts and in some cases endometriosis.
The exact incidence is not known, but most cases are frequently encountered during the fertility age.
Leiomyomas are benign tumors, which can present as hernias, lymph nodes, or other inguinal masses.
Surgical excision is the appropriate treatment.
We are presenting a case of a 47-year-old female patient who was admitted to the hospital with a left inguinal mass.
Our patient underwent surgery, and a leiomyoma of the round ligament was found.
