Huge angioleiomyoma of the uterus, suspected to be an ovarian tumor: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAngioleiomyoma of the uterus is an extremely rare benign tumor and a variant of uterine leiomyoma. In this study, a case of uterine angioleiomyoma was initially mistaken for an ovarian tumor. However, it was successfully surgically managed, and histology revealed the pathology. CASE REPORT: A 33-year-old Nigerian female patient, nullipara with phocomelia, presented with a complaint of abdominal discomfort of 15 years and abdominal swelling of 5-year duration. The abdomen was distended on examination to about 40 weeks' size. Abdominopelvic ultrasound and computed tomography scans suspected right ovarian malignancy. Cancer antigen 125 was elevated at 189U/mL (normal < 35U/mL). She had a laparotomy for suspected ovarian malignancy with excision of the abdominal mass. Intraoperative findings were ascitic fluid of 15 L and a huge cystic multi-septate mass measuring 30 cm × 26 cm, which weighed 6 kg and was attached to the fundus of the uterus by a stalk. Hysterectomy was not carried out because she was nullipara, and the uterus with its appendages appeared normal. Histopathology revealed uterine angioleiomyoma. Her postoperative recovery was satisfactory, and there has been no recurrence of symptoms. Uterine angioleiomyoma is a rare benign tumor, originating from the mesenchymal tissue and composed of smooth muscle cells and thick-walled vessels of the uterus. The diagnosis of uterine angioleiomyoma is not always possible, as large‑sized lesions may predominantly mask other pelvic structures and make it difficult to visualize the ovaries, thereby mimicking an ovarian tumor, as seen in our case. The choice of treatment is surgical excision of the mass, which was done for this patient.
conclusionAlthough uterine angioleiomyoma is rare, it should be suspected if radiological investigation reveals a multilobulated mass with solid, cystic, and multi-septal content in middle-aged women. The good outcome further strengthens the role of proper surgical care and follow-up histology in patients with symptomatic gynecological abdominal tumors.
