Case: A case of 31 yrs unmarried female with complaints of heavy menstrual bleeding for past 1 and half year associated with clots and congestive pattern of dysmenorrhoea. On Ultrasound of pelvis, she was diagnosed fibroid uterus. She was managed surgically by open myomectomy. HPE sample sent showed mitotically active and cellular leiomyoma. Conclusion: On histopathological examination, most leiomyomas are usually myomas, sometimes we may encounter rare variants.
