English abstract
Mucinous neoplasms of the ovary may have associated benign or malignant mural nodules. A
leiomyomatous mural nodule is a rare, benign lesion associated with mucinous tumors of the ovary. We report
a case of a mural leiomyomatous nodule arising in a benign mucinous cystadenoma in a 29-year-old woman who
presented with a large heterogenous abdominal mass. After pre-operative evaluation, exploratory laparotomy was
performed upon suspicion of ovarian malignancy. A pathological examination confirmed the benign nature of the
mural nodule.
