A parasitic leiomyoma of the sigmoid mesentery with schwannoma-like image findings
We report a case of PL of the sigmoid mesentery with schwannoma-like findings on imaging that was treated laparoscopically. PL is sometimes difficult to distinguish from schwannomas because of the variety of imaging findings, such as uterine fibroids. PL should be considered in the differential diagnosis of mesenteric tumors following laparoscopic myomectomies, even if it does not show typical imaging findings, such as uterine fibroids.
