ABSTRACT

Primary round ligament leiomyoma is uncommon, and an inguinal hernia due to primary round ligament leiomyoma is extremely rare. We present the case of a woman who underwent successful laparoscopic radical excision of this lesion. The patient was admitted with an asymptomatic mass in the left inguinal region suggesting an inguinal hernia. After physical, laboratory, and imaging examinations, a laparoscopic radical excision was performed. Histopathologic studies confirmed the diagnosis of primary round ligament leiomyoma.

Key Words: Hernia, Oncologic surgery, General laparoscopy.
