Abstract
Uterine myoma, the most common form of uterine tumor, occurs in approximately 25% of reproductive-aged women. Parasitic myoma, which outgrows its uterine blood supply and obtains a secondary blood supply from another organ such as the omentum, is rare. It is extremely rare if it is on the peritoneum of the right pelvic wall. Only a few cases have been found in this location so far. Here, the authors report an interesting case of parasitic myoma on the peritoneum of the right pelvic wall. They conclude with seven key points, which should be paid more attention to avoid iatrogenic parasitic myoma.
