UTERUS - Haemangioma

Description
This is a uterus cut to display a large soft tissue mass distorting the endocervical area. This mass appears to be arising from the body of the uterus and distorting and elongating the endocervical canal; a portion of the mass almost protrudes through the dilated os. The cut surface shows numerous cystic areas 2-3 mms in diameter; some of them are haemorrhagic.
