title: PARASITIC MYOMA AS AN ADNEXAL MASS: UNEXPECTED FINDING AFTER VAGINAL HYSTERECTOMY.
abstract: A rare case of parasitic myoma mimicking an adnexal mass in a previously hysterectomized, postmenopausal woman is presented. Two years after vaginal hysterectomy (due to myomas), an asymptomatic right adnexal tumor was noted during regular annual follow up. Ultrasound
  demonstrated a large 4-5 cm solid mass in the right adnexa, while ovarian cancer biomarkers (CA 125 and HE4) were negative. Intraoperatively, another 3 cm large solid tumor located above the vaginal cuff was discovered. Both pelvic tumors were excised by laparoscopic surgery. The masses were confirmed
  by histopathology to be leiomyomas.
