Huge intraabdominal fibromatosis on the posterior wall of uterus: a case report.
A patient with a huge intraabdominal fibromatosis connected by a pedicle to the posterior wall of the uterus is described. The blood supply to the tumor was exclusively from the uterus. CA 125 antigen in the patient's serum was elevated. The origin of the tumor is unknown but possibly from non-specific fibrous stroma in the uterus or peritoneum. We measured steroid receptors in the tumor and related tissues (peritoneum and cultured peritoneal fibroblasts), for information on steroid activity.
