A case of large, and multicentric adenomatoid tumors involving the uterus, right ovary and appendix is described. The uterine tumor was exceptionally large, about 15 cm in maximal diameter, and located in the right fundal region of the uterus with a short, thick pedicle as in a subserous pedunculated uterine fibroid.
