Grapelike leiomyoma of the uterus.
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.
