Introduction: Lipoleiomyomas are uncommon benign tumours of the uterus and are considered variants of uterine myomas. Their reported incidence varies from 0.03 to 0.2%. Signs and symptoms of lipoleiomyomas are similar to leiomyomas of similar size. Lipoleiomyomas are usually asymptomatic. They can present with pain, hypermenorrhoea, menstrual irregularities and palpable mass. Lipoleiomyomas when asymptomatic require no treatment. However, it is important to differentiate these tumours from ovarian teratomas, which requires surgical excision.
