Abstract

Wandering or parasitic fibroid are rare variant of gynecologic entity and are extrauterine   neoplasms occurring in unusual locations where the patient presents atypically or incidentally and at times mislead the radiological findings due to its atypical presentations .  Due to the rarity of its presentation and an incidental finding, we present a case of 38  yrs old nulligravida with a myoma of 10 weeks sized, failed medical treatment with an
incidental finding of a parasitic degenerated fibroid resembling a stone which was later  confirmed as a case of degenerated wandering fibroid.
