[Uterine lipoma localized in the myometrium. Report of a case, and review of the literature].

Lipomatous benign neoplasms of uterus are very rare entities in women. The present paper presents a case of uterine lipoma. The diagnosis is easily made at the time of surgery or at autopsy, but before this, they may lead to many problems in the differential diagnosis with another uterine tumors. Recent papers suggest the possibility of a preoperative diagnosis made by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Cytogenetic analysis of this benign tumor have established chromosomal abnormalities in sites that may control cell proliferation.
