Abstract

Cystic degeneration of uterine leiomyoma is a rare condition that may sometimes present with clinical and imaging findings giving impression of other diagnosis like ovarian mass or endometrioma, where final diagnosis depends on histological confirmation. Here we are presenting three cases with cystic degeneration of fibroid uterus with varying presentations. While two of the cases mimicked ovarian neoplasm, one case presented like endometrioma. All three cases were successfully managed by surgical procedure with uneventful perioperative period. Histopathology of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of cystic degeneration of fibroid uterus in all three cases.
