Abstract
A series of 24 bizarre (symplastic, pleomorphic) leiomyomas was analyzed to determine their spectrum of gross and microscopic features and to establish their clinical behavior by obtaining long-term follow-up. Patients' ages ranged from 25 to 51 years (mean 40.7). Maximum dimension of the tumors was about 1-14 cm (mean 4.2), with 83% measuringKeywords
