A 25 year-old unmarried female was operated for a large right broad ligament fibroid. Enucleation of fibroid with preservation of uterus and ovaries was done. Weight of the enucleated fibroid was found to be 5 kg. Fibroids are mostly situated in the body of the uterus which can be submucous, interstitial, and subserous. In few percent of cases it is found in cervical region. Although the above-mentioned locations have been frequently reported, broad ligament fibroid (a variety of subserous fibroid) is quite uncommon. This case is reported here to emphasize the importance of this location of fibroid and the diagnostic difficulties it can pose. JMS 2012;15(2):180-81
