Uterine prolapse is a benign and common condition, especially in older women. In this study, we investigated the frequency and implications of incidental findings in uteri removed for prolapse. We found a high frequency of incidental findings that was greater than previously reported and a correlation between the occurrence of leiomyomata and adenomyosis. As long as all grossly visible lesions are sampled, two routine sections were found to be sufficient to identify all significant lesions.
