Uterine Lipoleiomyoma: Rare Presentation of Postmenopausal Bleed
The uterine lipomatous tumors are extremely uncommon benign neoplasms. Lipoleiomyoma is a benign tumor that is a leiomyoma variation. Lipoleiomyoma consists of variable proportions of mature lipocytes and smooth muscle cells. Unlike conventional leiomyomas in which the size somewhat declines after menopause, uterine lipoleiomyomas are characterized by progressive enlargement even after menopause [1]. We report a case of uterine lipoleiomyoma because of its rarity. Their reported incidence varies from 0.03 to 0.2% [2].
