Abstract

Uterine fibroids usually have typical appearance on imaging. However, when fibroids present in unusual locations or undergo degenerations, confusion in imaging studies may arise. Here, we present a case of a 47-year-old woman with a preoperative diagnosis of ovarian malignancy. Surprisingly, a large pedunculated uterine leiomyoma which had undergone extensive cystic degeneration was found on laparotomy. Pedunculated leiomyomas with extensive cystic degeneration should be considered in the differential diagnosis of adnexal mass.
