Primary retroperitoneal leiomyomas are a rare and unusual differential diagnosis in the acute abdomen. A 26-year-old woman presented with chronic constipation and acute abdominal pain.

Retroperitoneal leiomyoma was suspected on imaging studies and finally confirmed after tumor excision and immunohistochemical staining.
