2 Figure 1 (A) Laparoscopic findings obtained for patient no. 1, a 14-year-old girl. Based on the laparoscopy, the tumor was thought to be malignant due to its solid and hemorrhagic appearance and its uneven surface. Subsequently, the patient underwent a salpingo-oophorectomy. (B) Micrograph of an ovarian leiomyoma associated with the degeneration of a hemorrhagic infarction (hematoxylin and eosin [H & E], ×40). (C) Immunohistochemical findings showing that ovarian leiomyomas are positive for alpha-smooth muscle cell actin (×200).
