Figure 2 (A) magnetic resonance imaging of the enlarged uterus with multiple fibroids (asterisk) of the patient in case 1 (III-1) before her second myomectomy. (B and C) Gross pathologic specimen of (B) dominant fibroid and (C) all fibroids removed from patient III-1 at her first myomectomy. (D) Cytologic atypia and the perinuclear halo (arrow) seen in the atypical leiomyoma specimen from patient 3 (III-4). Scale bar = 30 μm.
