Abstract

A 55 year-old woman presented with abdominal pain. Transvaginal ultasonography demonstrated an enlarged fibroid uterus. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and was found to have torsion of a large pedunculated leiomyoma. There are fewer than 10 cases reported in the literature of torsion of a uterine leiomyoma.
