admitted to the obstetrics and gynecology department with a complaint of postmenopausal bleeding for 7-8 years. The
patient is on progesterone therapy for 15 days. The definitive diagnosis of these lesions is diffic DISCUSSION: ult prior to
surgical removal. Because there are no pathognomonic symptoms or characteristic imaging findings. The correct
diagnosis of ovarian leiomyoma requires identification of the smooth muscle nature of the tumor. Th CONCLUSION: is
rare tumor of the ovary should be considered in the differential diagnosis of solid ovarian masses. Immunohistochemical
analysis is recommended for definitive diagnosis.
