Primary ovarian leiomyoma

Abstract

Primary ovarian leiomyoma is an extremely rare form of extrauterine leiomyomas. The incidence of primary ovarian leiomyoma is 0.5%–1% of all benign ovarian smooth muscle tumors. We present a case of primary ovarian leiomyoma managed laparoscopically with ovarian preservation.
