Abstract
- Angiomyoma is a rare, benign, mesenchymal tumor occurring mainly in the female genital tract and higher incidence in the fourth to sixth decades of life. It is originated from smooth muscle cells and contains thick-walled vessels. The most satisfactory treatment is complete excision. We experienced a case of the broad ligamentary angiomyoma that was treated by complete excision with a brief review of literature.
