Abstract
Uterine lipomas are uncommon. Several histology hypotheses are described. Ultrasound is firstly performed but diagnosis is sometimes difficult. Magnetic resonance imaging is more specific and helpful to make a differential diagnosis with a dermoid ovarian cyst. Despite those imaging exams we detail a case of a patient where a laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and preliminary adhesiolysis has been necessary to establish diagnosis. Among her medical history some previous abdominal surgeries could be the cause of this lesion.
