We report a case of a pedunculated degenerated leiomyoma in a 31 &#8211; year &#8211; old woman mimicking ovarian neoplasm according to the preoperative imaging studies, including ultrasound and computing tomography. Surgical removal of the mass and histopathologic examination revealed a pedunculated leiomyoma with myxoid degeneration and coexisting lesions of endometriosis. Differential diagnosis between large, degenerated, atypical tumor &#8211; like fibroids and ovarian neoplasms may be a diagnostic challenge.<\/p>\n<p><em>Keywords:<\/em> pedunculated uterine leiomyoma, degeneration, ovarian tumor<\/p>\n<p>p.\u00a0 87-90<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karagianni Evdokia, Tsolakidis Dimitrios, Bili Eleni, Vavilis Dimitrios, Tarlatzis Basil<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hjog.org\/wp-content\/pdf\/2015\/Degeneration_of_a_pedunculated_leiomyoma_mimicking_ovarian_neoplasm._A_case_report_and_review_of_the_literature.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-130\" src=\"https:\/\/hjog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/pdf-icons-free-icons-in-file-icons-18.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Degeneration of subserous uterine leiomyomas can lead to inaccurate diagnosis of an ovarian mass, mainly in cases with a stalk.
