title: Uterine hemangioma associated with infertility.
abstract: An infertile woman with an enlarged uterus was thought to have leiomyoma. At laparotomy two large, vascular uterine tumors were removed; the remainder of the uterus was preserved. Evaluation of histologic sections with antibody to human factor VIII and electron microscopy were necessary to confirm the diagnosis of hemangioma.
