ABSTRACT
Symplastic leiomyoma is a rare variant of leiomyoma, also called as atypical or bizarre leiomyoma. Recently introduced term is leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei. These are leiomyomas which show cells with moderate to severe cytoplasmic atypia, but absence of cell necrosis and lower mitotic activity. We present a case of symplastic leiomyoma in a 45-year old female patient who presented with menorrhagia and abdominal pain.
Key words: Leiomyoma, Symplastic, Myometrium.
