In a 48-year-old woman, the author removed the uterine fibroma, which had existed for 6 years, with a supravaginal hysterectomy. Tumor weight was 20 lbs; its dimensions: anteroposterior circumference = 231/2 inches, transverse = 223/4 in., diameter from leg to apex = 13 in., transverse diameter = 12, and vertical diameter 91/2 in. The microscope showed the predominance of fibrous tissue; numerous lymphatic spaces were filled with fibrin.
