Résumé
Pseudo broad ligament fibroids originate in the uterus but grow into the broad ligament while retaining their attachment to the uterus. We report a case of a right-sided pseudo broad ligament fibroid mimicking an adnexal mass in a 40-year-old woman presenting with dysmenorrhoea and heavy menstrual bleeding. She had a uterine mass corresponding to an 18-week pregnant uterus size, which clinically and radiologically posed a diagnostic dilemma between an ovarian cyst, a bicornuate uterus with multiple fibroids, and a broad ligament fibroid. She underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which revealed a pseudo broad ligament fibroid of 12x10x6 centimeters, weighing 1.2 kg. The histopathology report confirmed the diagnosis of a leiomyoma with normal ovaries.
