Abstract
Leiomyomas from the fallopian tube are very rare and usually asymptomatic but may cause symptoms by torsion or obstruction. Herein, we describe the detailed imaging findings of tubal leiomyoma with myxoid degeneration. Tubal leiomyoma appeared as a well-defined juxtauterine tumor marginated by low-signal rims with intervening bridging vessels between the tumor and uterus. A tubal mass showing heterogeneous speckled high signals with intermediate signal background on T2-weighted image without diffusion restriction could suggest the probability of tubal leiomyoma with mxoid degeneration.
