Rapidly growing leiomyoma in a postmenopausal woman

Takako Okamoto et al. J Obstet Gynaecol Res. 2004 Aug.

Abstract

We present here a case of a rapidly growing leiomyoma occurring after menopause. The tumor weighed 4329 g, suggesting the rapid accumulation of 'hyaline fibrosis'. A small amount of proliferative activity was detected as evidenced by Ki-67 antigen immunoreactivity.
