[Leiomyoma of the round ligament of the uterus].

A 53-year-old patient was surgically treated for a tumour the size of a female fist, located on the left of the uterus and appeared to be either a uterine myoma or an ovarian tumour, and also for urine incontinence. Laparotomy revealed a solid tumour on the uterine round ligament, about 2 cm from the uterine horn, and histologically diagnosed as leiomyoma. In the differential diagnosis the authors refer to Kleinwachter's sign having been known for a long time.
