title: Uterin Lipoleiomyoma: MR Findings.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Uterine lipoleiomyoma is a rare and specific type of leiomyoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 60-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with abdominal pain. Her pelvic ultrasound demonstrated a normal- sized uterus with a well- circumscribed, heterogeneous mass located in the anterior corpus. A pelvic MRI revealed a mass including hyperintense areas on T1-weighted images and hypointense on fat-suppressed T1-weighted images, compatible with lipoleiomyoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Uterine lipoleiomyomas are often misdiagnosed pre-operatively and it is important to distinguish leiomyomas from other tumors for prevention from supererogatory surgery. Imaging plays an important role for the exact differentiation.
