Mitotically active leiomyomasis a rare histologic entity of smooth muscle tumors of the uterus. They have the same clinical behavior as an oridinary leiomyoma, histologically characterized by a mitotic activity higher than 5mitoses/high power field, without necrosis or cellular atypia. We report two cases of patients aged 48 and 61 years old respectively, presenting abdominal mass, their paraclinical examinations evoked a uterine leiomyosarcoma, a radical treatment was performed for the two patients, the anatomopathologic examination showedleiomyomas with increased mitotic activity.
