A case of uterine bizarre lipoleiomyoma occurring in a 58‐year‐old woman is described. A subserosal 8.5 cm mass in the posterior wall of the body had a lipoma‐llke appearance with strands of fibrous tissue. Histologlcally, the tumor predominantly consisted of adipocytes which varied in size and shape. Some cells had the appearance of signet ring cells, some had hyperchromatlc nuclei, and multivacuo‐lated lipoblasts with hyperchromatlc nuclei were observed throughout the lesion. The fibrous areas showed a proliferation of smooth muscle cells with and without atypical nuclei. There was no mltotlc figure. Row cytometric analysis Indicated aneuploldy. The patient was well without disease 10 months after hysterectomy. Patients with this type of tumor need a close and long‐term follow‐up because of the paucity of clinical information.
