Figure 1 (A) Ultrasonography shows a large ovoid anechoic mass measuring 5.3 × 5.5 cm identified in right pelvic cavity. (B) 12 months later, a hypoechoic lesion without flow measuring 1.01 × 0.85 cm (arrow) was identified as a residual image.

Figure 2 (A) Three-dimensional computerized tomography (CT) angiogram displayed a large mass (about 5.5 cm) that showed contrast filling on arterial phase and partially thrombosed wall. Also seen are the internal iliac artery (solid arrow) and the right uterine artery (open arrow). (B) Postembolization CT angiogram shows no feeding artery and artifact due to micro coils (curved arrow).

Figure 3 (A) Angiogram showing pseuoaneurysm of the right uterine artery. (B) Postembolization selective angiogram of the right internal iliac artery shows placement of microcoils (arrow) at the orifice of the pseudoaneurysm within the right uterine artery. There is no filling of the pseudoaneurysm near the neck of the pseudoaneurysm.
