ABSTRACT The differential diagnosis for a uterine mass and vaginal bleeding after abortion or delivery is broad and includes both benign and malignant causes. A rare etiology for this condition is retained morbidly adherent placenta.

In this case series and review of the current literature, we describe the ultrasound features of 3 retained morbidly adherent placentae, along with correlative magnetic resonance imaging findings.
