【 摘 要 】

Angioleiomyoma (ALM) is a rare and painful, benign neoplasm that is referred to an uncommon type of leiomyoma originating from smooth muscle cells of arterial and venous walls. ALM is very rarely found in the female genital organs such as uterus or ovary. Herein, we present the case of a huge primary ovarian ALM in a 35 year-old woman, clinically and radiologically mimicking an ovarian fibroma, which histologically has diffuse myxoid degeneration. This is the third case of ovarian ALM and the first case of ovarian ALM with diffuse degeneration reported in English literatures, to the best of our knowledge.
