    Images from a 43-year-old woman with pain and bulk symptoms. (a) Transabdominal US image demonstrates a large pedunculated subserosal leiomyoma arising from the uterine fundus. Sagittal T1-weighted fat-saturated unenhanced (b), sagittal T1-weighted fat-saturated gadolinium-enhanced (c), and coronal T2-weighted unenhanced (d) MR images demonstrate the large heterogeneous enhancing pedunculated subserosal tumor with a narrow stalk (white arrows in c and d) arising from the right superolateral aspect of the uterine fundus. Three months after UAE, sagittal T1-weighted fat-saturated unenhanced (e) and gadolinium-enhanced (f) MR images show that the uterus and pedunculated subserosal leiomyoma have decreased in size, and that the tumor is no longer perfused.

    Images from a 42-year-old woman with menorrhagia and pain. Axial T1-weighted unenhanced (a), axial T1-weighted fat-saturated gadolinium-enhanced (b), and axial T2-wieghted unenhanced (c) MR images demonstrate multiple uterine leiomyomas with a pedunculated subserosal tumor in the right lower quadrant (white arrows in a–c). Three months after UAE, sagittal T1-weighted fat saturated unenhanced (d) and sagittal T1-weighted fat-saturated gadolinium enhanced (e) MR images demonstrate that the pedunculated subserosal tumor in the right lower quadrant is smaller in size, and that it is no longer perfused (white arrows in d and e).
