Grapelike leiomyoma of the uterus

Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1995 Sep;173(3 Pt 1):959-61. doi: 10.1016/0002-9378(95)90378-x.

Abstract

A 24-year-old nulliparous woman underwent laparotomy for a large pelvic mass. Grapelike tumor extending from the uterus into the broad ligaments and peritoneal cavity was found. A diagnosis of sarcoma appeared likely, but radical surgery was avoided when frozen sections indicated a histologically benign smooth muscle tumor.
