Sumario:OBJECTIVE: To describe and illustrate a massive cotyledenoid leiomyoma treated with uterine-conserving surgery. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Medical center. PATIENT(S): A 39-year-old woman with a large abdominal mass and a magnetic resonance imaging scan showing a 28-cm multi-lobulated mass. INTERVENTION(S): Laparotomy and myomectomy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Recurrence and need for repeat surgery. RESULT(S): No recurrence at 8 years of follow-up. CONCLUSION(S): Cotyledonoid leiomyomas are rare. These benign tumors may be suspected preoperatively based on MRI appearance. Frozen section suggests a benign process and uterine-conserving surgery may be successfully accomplished.
