The Authors report an uncommon giant leiomyoma of the uterus observed in a young woman after a prolonged and misknown course. The peculiar features of these large neoplasms as well as the diagnostic methods and the difficulties of the surgical treatment are discussed. The patient underwent successful surgical removal of the tumour with preservation of uterus and ovaries, and is still in good health after a two year follow up.
