Abstract
Benign tumors of the uterine corpus are among the most prevalent gynecological conditions affecting women of reproductive and perimenopausal age groups worldwide. These tumors, primarily represented by leiomyomas (commonly known as fibroids), endometrial polyps, and benign trophoblastic lesions such as hydatidiform moles, constitute a significant cause of morbidity, including abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, and infertility1. Despite their benign nature, these lesions necessitate careful histopathological evaluation due to their potential overlap with malignant counterparts.
