Abstract

Advancements in minimally invasive surgical techniques and expertise have facilitated the safe and effective removal of large leiomyomas. However, lateral fibroids (board ligament and pseudo-broad ligament fibroids) present unique operative challenges during hysterectomy in view of distortion of the anatomy at the site of uterine artery ligation. We report a rare case of pseudo-broad ligament fibroid which was successfully managed with laparoscopic approach.
