Abstract:
Leiomyomas are the most common benign uterine tumor; however, this entity is relatively uncommon in the pediatric population. Although leiomyomas most commonly present as solitary uterine masses, unusual patterns of growth have been described including diffuse leiomyomatosis. In this condition, the myometrium of the uterus is symmetrically expanded by innumerable confluent leiomyomas; this pattern of growth is quite uncommon and has never been reported in a pediatric patient. This case report illustrates the imaging appearance of diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis in an otherwise healthy 16-year-old girl.
