Abstract

BACKGROUND: Although Broad ligament fibroids are rare, their surgical management includes nuances of anatomical awareness, traction and counter-traction techniques, and proper hemostasis. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES-To provide an overview of the  background, clinical presentation, and imaging related to broad ligament fibroid .;to discuss pertinent anatomical landmarks and demonstrating laparascopic myomectomy techniques in cases of  broad ligament myomectomy technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five cases of true broad ligament fibroids and 10 cases of false broad ligament fibroids were operated.3 of them misdiagnosed as intramural fibroids on USG and subserosal on CT SCAN. RESULTS: All were removed laparoscopically, with very minimal blood loss and without a need for blood transfusion. We traced the course of the ureters in all cases. No complications were encountered. CONCLUSION: The broad ligament fibroid even though being the rarest of extra-uterine tumours can grow to a large size as exemplified in these cases. Early diagnosis and laparascopy in experienced hands  can decrease the peri and post-operative complications in such cases.
