title: Primary ovarian leiomyoma. A case report.
abstract: A 32-year-old woman was admitted for termination of her 6-week pregnancy at her request. However, pelvic examination followed by transvaginal ultrasonography (TVU) revealed an adnexal mass complicating pregnancy and requiring surgical intervention that was carried out after termination of pregnancy. At laparotomy, left salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and histologic examination revealed a leiomyoma arising primarily in the ovary.
