title: [Giant leiomyoma of fallopian tube: a rare aetiology of abdominal tumor].
abstract: Leiomyomas of the fallopian tube are extremely rare. They are often managed with autopsy or surgery. We report a revealed case by a voluminous-abdominal mass in a 35-year-old woman. Neither the tomodensitometry nor, even, the laparoscopy did not permit specifying the tubal origin of the tumor. The diagnosis has been finally carried to the laparotomy. An annexectomy had been achieved. The histological examination concluded to a leiomyoma without malignant-cellular atypia.
