Abstract

Ovarian leiomyoma is a rare benign tumor that accounts for 0.5 to 1% of all benign ovarian tumors. It probably arises from smooth muscle cells in the ovarian hilar blood vessels but there are other possible origins including cells in the ovarian ligament, smooth muscle cells or multipotential cells in the ovarian stroma. In this case we presented a 23 year old woman who admitted to our emergency service with acute abdominal pain. Laparotomy revealed right side ovarian cyst torsion and contralateral solid ovarian tumor located on the left ovarian hilus. The tumor was removed by enucleation and sent to the pathology department. A diagnosis of primary ovarian leiomyoma was established. Despite its rarity, ovarian leiomyoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ovarian gonadal stromal tumors.

Özet

Over leiomyomları tüm over bening tümörlerinin %0.5-1’ini oluşturan oldukça nadir görülen tümörlerdir. Overde hiler damarlarının düz kas hücrelerinden geliştikleri düşünülse de ovarian ligamentten veya over stromasındaki düz kas ve multipotansiyal hücrelerden köken aldıkları da düşünülmektedir. Bu yazıda acil servise akut karın ağrısı ile başvuran hastadaki over leiomyomu sunulmaktadır. Hastanın yapılan laporotomisinde sağ over kist torsiyonu tespit edilirken sol over hilusunda yerleşimli solid tümör görüldü. Tümör enoküle edilip patolojik incelemeye gönderildi. Patoloji sonucu primer over leiomyomu ile uyumlu idi. Over leiomyomları nadir görülüyor olsalar da over gonadal stromal tümörlerin ayırıcı tanısında akılda bulundurulmadır.
