Asymptomatic ovarian mucinous cystadenoma with a solid mural leiomyoma : case report and brief review

Abstract EN

Mucinous neoplasms of the ovary may have associated benign or malignant mural nodules.

A leiomyomatous mural nodule is a rare, benign lesion associated with mucinous tumors of the ovary.

We report a case of a mural leiomyomatous nodule arising in a benign mucinous cystadenoma in a 29-year-old woman who presented with a large heterogenous abdominal mass.

After pre-operative evaluation, exploratory laparotomy was performed upon suspicion of ovarian malignancy.

A pathological examination confirmed the benign nature of the mural nodule.
