Özet: Abdominal or intra-abdominal masses are defined as any enlargement or swelling localized in the abdominal area. Intra-abdominal masses can be diagnosed from abdominal symptoms or through physical examination, as well as can incidentally be detected from radiological imaging performed for other reasons. In this study, the diagnosis and treatment of intra-abdominal mass in a 27-year-old nulliparous female patient with unusual urinary symptom is presented. Preoperative magnetic resonance (MRI) images showed an intra-abdominal solid mass. The mass excision was performed, and surgical recovery was achieved. Pathological results revealed that the mass was a large leiomyoma of 15 cm×14 cm×11 cm size with extrauterine localization, which is quite rare in the literature. Post-operative results showed that the patient’s existing urinary complaint had completely disappeared.
