ABSTRACT
Angioleiomyoma aka Vascular leiomyoma is a benign mesenchymal tumour originating from the smooth muscles and containing thick walled vessels. It is commonly seen in the subcutis of the lower extremities. Although a few cases of uterine angioleiomyoma have been reported, broad ligament angioleiomyoma is extremely rare.
Case History: 45 year old multiparous women presented to the OPD with complains of pain and mass in abdomen since 4 months. No history of menstrual irregularities was noted. Ultrasonography revealed a homogenous solid mass in lower abdomen region. The mass was hypodense. A provisional clinical radiological diagnosis of Broad ligament fibroid was made. The patient underwent a surgery for removal of broad ligament mass with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and specimen was submitted for histopathological examination.
Conclusion: Angioleiomyoma of broad ligament is an extremely rare diagnosis and should be diagnosed correctly with the help of IHC markers.It must be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis of abdominal mass associated with pain to be able to arrive at a correct diagnosis.
Keywords: Angioleiomyoma, broad ligament, vascular leiomyoma, mesenchymal tumour, broad ligament fibroid.
