title: Uterine lipoleiomyoma.
abstract: We report a case of a patient who was found to have a uterine lipoleiomyoma on ultrasound and MRI, which was later confirmed with histological evidence. Uterine lipoleiomyomas are rare benign tumours that are often misdiagnosed on imaging, leading to unnecessary invasive procedures. Increased awareness of the tumour and its characteristics on imaging can aid future preoperative diagnosis.
