Uterine Leiomyoma or GIST? A Case
Report of a Diagnostic Conundrum
See A, Tan G and Teo M
Uterine leiomyomas are the most common tumours to affect women. The presentation of these tumours can vary. Typical uterine leiomyomas are easily recognized on imaging. However, an atypical presentation or even atypical appearances on imaging can cause diagnostic confusion. We report a case of uterine leiomyoma presenting itself as a gastrointestinal tumour (GIST) on imaging. She underwent a laparotomy and was found to have a uterine leiomyoma necessitating resection. She was subsequently discharged well.
