| Figure 1 Contrast-enhanced axial CT abdomen demonstrating
a large oval hypodense lesion [HU 30-70] (long arrow) within a large lobulated
uterus with stretching of the myometrium. This is histopathologically proven
as degenerated leiomyoma with large areas of necrosis and hyalinization,
and inflammation is noted in both the fibroid and the myometrium, which
simulates an endometrial fluid collection or hydrometra. A smaller separate
heterogeneously enhancing lesion with whorl appearance (short arrow) is
seen to the right side of the uterus and which is proven early degenerated
leiomyoma. |
