  ABSTRACT: Background: Massive cystic degeneration of the uterine myoma might mimic an ovarian tumor, especially a malignant ovarian tumor, causing misdiagnosis. We present a case of a woman with marked cystic degeneration of a uterine leiomyoma mimicking an ovarian neoplasm. Case: A 65-year-old woman (gravida 6, para 6) visited us due to an abdominal tumor. Clinical examination and radiology exploration suggested the presence of an ovarian tumour. The patient underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy. Histopathology confirmed a final diagnosis of a degenerated leiomyoma. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful and she was discharged on her 5th post-operative day. Conclusions: When a patient has a huge abdomino-pelvic mass, mimicking an ovarian tumor, cystic degeneration of uterine myoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis.
