Smooth Muscle Tumors of the Female Genital Tract.
Smooth muscle tumors are the most common among mesenchymal tumors in the female genital tract. The vast majority of these neoplasms are clinically benign and easy to diagnose. In contrast, leiomyosarcomas are highly aggressive tumors that may pose considerable diagnostic problems when they display unusual (myxoid or epithelioid) morphology, ambiguous histologic features for malignancy, or an un...

متن کاملSmooth-muscle tumours of the alimentary tract.
Smooth muscle tumors (SMT) of the alimentary tract are uncommon. A series of 32 cases (16 leiomyomas and 16 leiomyosarcomas) are presented. The most common presenting clinical signs are bleeding or obstruction. These are caused mainly by degenerative changes within the lesion or its enlargement. The endoluminal SMT cause symptoms early and are more easily detectable. However, the extraluminal S...
متن کاملMediators and intracellular mechanisms of NANC relaxation of smooth muscle in the gastrointestinal tract.
nal tract, many possible candidates, including peptides, arnino acids, nucleotides and gaseous compounds, for the inhibitory mediator and mechanisms of their inhibitory control have been extensively studied. This article introduces the diversity of inhibitory mediators and their probable intracellular mechanisms on the basis of recent findings on this theme, many of which are unexpected interes...
