Figure 2 Pelvi-abdominal MRI showing a large, well-defined, oval mass measuring 12 × 8 cm in dimensions overlapping the right side of the pelvic cavity (red arrow). The mass appears to be connected to the uterus (blue arrow). A subserosal leiomyoma is suggested. However, a desmoid tumor needs to be excluded.
