The paper reviews the literature on clinical cases of parasitic uterine myoma (PUM). The incidence of PUM is steadily increasing after endoscopic surgery. A rare pathology of ectopic (wandering, parasitic) uterine myoma is more and more common due to the use of a morcellator during organ-sparing surgery. The presence of PUM that is predominantly iatrogenic has been proven and histologically verified in all the described clinical cases. But, taking into account the low incidence rate of this pathology, it requires further investigation and development of clinical recommendations for the management of patients with PUM.
