Parasitic myomas that occur after transabdominal surgery are extremely rare and may not be sufficiently documented. Here, we present a case of parasitic myoma in the anterior abdominal wall following a transabdominal hysterectomy for fibroids.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The patient was a 46-year-old Chinese woman who had undergone surgery for uterine myomas at our hospital 1\u00a0year prior. The patient later revisited our department with a palpable mass in her abdomen, and imaging revealed a mass in the iliac fossa. The possibility of a broad ligament myoma or solid ovarian tumor was considered before surgery, and laparoscopic exploration was performed under general anesthesia. A tumor measuring approximately 4.5\u2009\u00d7\u20094.0\u00a0cm was found in the right anterior abdominal wall, and a parasitic myoma was considered. The tumor was completely resected. Pathological analysis of the surgical specimens suggested leiomyoma. The patient recovered well and was discharged on postoperative day 3.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This case suggests that parasitic myoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with abdominal or pelvic solid tumors with a history of surgery for uterine leiomyomas, even without a history of laparoscopic surgery using a power morcellator. Thorough inspection and washing of the abdominopelvic cavity at the end of surgery is vital.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12905-023-02410-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,16]],"date-time":"2023-06-16T09:02:56Z","timestamp":1686906176000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Parasitic myoma after transabdominal hysterectomy for fibroids: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Jiao","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guipeng","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7324-6103","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qing","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2410_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e00349","DOI":"10.1016\/j.crwh.2021.e00349","volume":"32","author":"A Laibangyang","year":"2021","unstructured":"Laibangyang A, Law C, Gupta G, Da Dong X, Chuang L.
