case_images: A 2cm endometrial polyp was noted (Figure 2) and removed without any complications.
case_images: (A) Laparoscopic view of the pelvis and uterine mass. (B) Post surgical excision of the uterine mas. The multinodular mass weighed 482g with large surface vessels and a friable irregular contour. The cut surface was haemorrhagic, lobulated, tan and dark brown with areas of cystic cavities.

case_images: A 12 cm exophytic mass was noted to be arising from the uterine fundus (Figure 3A) which had an atypical appearance of a leiomyoma. The contour was irregular, nodular, friable and highly vascular with contact bleeding (Figure 3B).
case_images: Histology slides from the specimen confirming the diagnosis of benign adenomyoma. (A) Endometrial glands and macrophages. (B) Endometrial glands and smooth muscle. (C) Endometrial glands with no atypia. (D) Areas of hyalinisation.
