| Summary: | Leiomyomas predominate among benign nonepithelial tumors of the corpus uteri. Leiomyoma is commonly an asymptomatic tumor and detectable in most cases at routine gynecological examinations.

Fatal cases resulting from tumor spread along the postcava to the right atrium are described. |
