A Case of Parasitic Myoma of the Umbilical Region After Laparoscopic Myomectomy

Abstract

 Parasitic myoma is a condition in which the uterine fibroids detach completely from the uterus and receive a blood supply from other regions. In recent years, few studies have examined shredded myoma tissue fragments remaining in the abdominal cavity or abdominal wall after laparoscopic myomectomy or uterine evacuation surgeries that were assumed to be viable. Herein, we report the first case of parasitic myoma in the umbilical region. The patient underwent myomectomy and umbilicoplasty, and the wound was successfully closed.
