Abstract
Asymptomatic uterine leiomyoma can be detected on routine computed tomograp hy (CT) of the pelvis. Leiomyomas have been described as low attenuation ma sses that can disrupt the smooth contour of a normal uterus. Four women und erwent uterine artery embolization for the treatment of uterine leiomyoma. CT findings include initial retention of contrast in Fibroids the day of th e procedure and central necrosis of the fibroid with subsequent cavitation as early as 1 month postprocedure.
