[Laparoscopic removal of primary intestinal fibroid].

Uterine fibroids are the most frequent solid benign tumors of the female pelvis. The most frequent location is the uterine corpus; however, it has been also reported in cervical placement and broad ligament. Rarely it has been reported a case of intestinal fibroid after previous history of myomectomy. We report the case of a patient, with no surgical history of interest, who underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy due to suspicion of malignant abdominal mass. Ajejunal fibroid was found, which was removed via laparoscopy without complications. Laparoscopy may be considered in case of intestinal fibriod despite its rarity, due to the better postoperative recovery and cosmetic outcomes compared to laparotomy.
