| Abstrakt: | Parasitic leiomyomas (PL) are rare cause of small bowel obstruction (SBO) in young women. Usually, they arise in women who underwent laparoscopic or surgical morcellation of uterine fibroids. PL may present with vague abdominal pain, constipation, obstipation, or rarely SBO. SBO can be primary or secondary, depending on prior surgical history. PL might present as primary SBO due to their mass effect or secondary SBO if the patient's PL resulted from a surgical procedure. We came across a very remarkable presentation of primary SBO due to an artery supplying the PL. Few cases of primary PL have been reported.
