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.
History
This woman presented with menorrhagia and some dysmenorrhea. She had also noted
abdominal distension and examination 16 weeks before admission showed a uterus 12-14 weeks in
size.
