Abstract
Radiation diagnosis of giant uterine fibroids is an urgent problem of modern radiology. Specialists in the field of radiation diagnostics, as a rule, have considerable difficulties in making an accurate diagnosis of a benign tumor of the uterus, taking it for malignant due to its large size. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus, which occupies one of the leading places in the structure of diseases of the female reproductive system. A clinical observation of a patient with such a rare pathology as a giant uterine leiomyoma imitating leiomyosarcoma is given, which caused difficulties for radiation diagnosticians in making an accurate diagnosis of uterine fibroids. The use of a complex of histological and immunohistochemical diagnostic methods in combination with radiation imaging methods in difficult cases makes it possible to make the correct diagnosis.

Keywords: giant uterine leiomyoma, uterine leiomyosarcoma, computer tomography
