Resumo(s)
Lipoleiomyomas are rare, mixed mesenchymal tumors composed of adipose and smooth
muscle cells. They usually arise from the uterus, with extrauterine tumors being extremely
rare. The imaging and gross appearance is similar to other tumors with these
constituents. Recognition of this rare and benign tumor is of great importance, in order
to avoid erroneous diagnosis. We present a case of an extrauterine lipoleiomyoma with
minimal amounts of fat, only identified by MRI. The extrauterine location was
highlighted by multiplanar MRI, and the presence of a capsule suggested a benign tumor.
