Valid population-based estimates of uterine leiomyoma prevalence are lacking. It is estimated that 20-40% of women of reproductive age have uterine leiomyoma and presentation occurs most commonly towards the end of the reproductive life. [3, 4] Leiomyoma may occur singly but more often are multiple. Pigmented races (i.e. African, Caribbean, Filipino etc.) are more likely to have this condition ...

BACKGROUND This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of graded concentrations (10(-8), 10(-7) and 10(-6) M) of progesterone receptor (PR) modulator CDB-2914 on the protein contents of PR, of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), adrenomedullin (ADM) and their receptors in cultured human uterine leiomyoma and matching myometrial cells. METHODS PR-A, PR-B, VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF recep...

Leiomyoma is a benign tumor of smooth muscles. Leiomyoma originating from the scrotum is a rare entity. We report a case of 53-year-old African male who presented with a 3 cm lump in the right side of scrotum. Clinically, it was provisionally diagnosed as sebaceous cyst and was excised. The histopathology showed a leiomyoma. There was no cytological atypia or mitosis. The patient also had squam...

Paraurethral leiomyomas are rare benign fibromuscular tumors developing from urethra. The presenting symptoms are usually related to mass effect. We present a case of an incidental diagnosis of a paraurethral leiomyoma in a patient with a fibroid uterus. Case was managed by hysterectomy concurrent with periurethral leiomyoma excision. Patient had uncomplicated clinical course. Due to close loca...

A 71-year-old woman presented with a 2-month history of progressive exophthalmos. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor occupying the right frontal sinus that compressed the right orbit and eye ball. The tumor was resected through a right frontal craniotomy. The pathologic diagnosis was leiomyoma and similar to the histologic diagnosis of a uterine leiomyoma resected 4 years earlier. We s...

The study of uterine leiomyomata (fibroids) provides a unique opportunity to investigate the physiological and molecular determinants of hormone dependent tumor growth and spontaneous tumor regression. We conducted a longitudinal clinical study of premenopausal women with leiomyoma that showed significantly different growth rates between white and black women depending on their age. Growth rate...

objective: we intended to determine causes and histological pattern of hysterectomies in an iranian population. materials and methods: archived reports of pathology department of a university hospital dated march 2005 to march 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. age, chief complaint, type of operation including abdominal, vaginal and subtotal hysterectomy, the indication of the operation and th...

INTRODUCTION Leiomyoma of the fallopian tube is extremely rare, and its version - leiomyoma cellulare (LC) of the fallopian tube is absolutely unique. Aim of the study was to review literature reports on leiomyomas of the fallopian tubes, and to present cases of leiomyoma and LC of the fallopian tubes in the patients operated on in our ward. MATERIAL AND METHODS There were fewer than 100 case...
