Leiomyoma is the commonest uterine neoplasm affecting females in reproductive age group. Leiomyomas need hormonal milieu for their growth and maintenance. These tumors are benign, but some of the variants and secondary changes may create diagnostic difficulties.

This study included 100 cases of leiomyomas. Clinical findings and the microscopic features in all cases were studied.

The study period was 1 year, from June 2015 to May 2016. Majority of the patients were between 31–50 years (90%). Most common location of leiomyomas was intramural (58%). Degenerative changes were observed in 31 % cases, among which hyaline change was the most common (22%). Two types of leiomyoma variants were seen, amongst which cellular leiomyoma was the commonest.
