Abstract

Leiomyoma of the ovary is a rare neoplasm; only 28 cases in the literature are known to us. In 1979, we encountered a tumor of this type and are reporting it here because of its great size and its occurrence in a 103-year-old woman. The patient has been well for two years since the tumor was removed.
