OBJECTIVE To determine if neurofilament (NF) is expressed in the endometrium and the lesions of myomas and adenomyosis, and to determine their correlation. METHODS Histologic sections were prepared from hysterectomies performed on women with adenomyosis (n=21), uterine myoma (n=31), and carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix. Full-thickness uterine paraffin blocks, which included the endomet...

OBJECTIVE Myoma of the uterine cervix is rare, accounting for about 5% of all myomas. Compared with myomas that occur in the uterine corpus, cervical myomas are closer to other organs such as the bladder, ureter, and rectum, and the approach needs to be modified because the organs that have to be considered differ depending on the location of the myoma. We divided cervical myomas into 2 types a...

OBJECTIVES Cadmium (Cd) is a persistent and widespread environmental pollutant, which may constitute a potential risk factor for hormone-dependent tumors such as endometrial cancer. The vascular endothelium is an important target of cadmium toxicity, which may interfere with the coagulation cascade and fibrinolytic system. The aim of this research was to investigate whether in female patients w...

INTRODUCTION Inversion of the uterus is an uncommon complication of the puerperium and it is an even rarer complication of the non-puerperal period. A submucous myoma is mostly the cause of the non-puerperal inversion but diagnosis can be difficult. In young women, non-puerperal uterine inversion is likely associated with a malignancy. CASE PRESENTATION A 19-year-old nulliparous woman present...

The objectives of this video are to review important considerations for accurate diagnosis a prolapsing submucosal myoma, and highlight surgical techniques minimally invasive uterine-sparing vaginal myomectomy. Submucosal myomas have the potential prolapse through cervix as uterus attempts expel them from cavity. Symptoms include bleeding, pelvic pain, abnormal discharge. Thorough evaluation en...

BACKGROUND While myoma is the most common pelvic mass of women, most women do not seek screening tests for uterine myoma and if they have any fibroid they are not volunteer for its surgical removal. CASE We present here a novel technique of vascular skeletonization to preserve uterus, making pregnancy possible for an infertile woman with a large uterine myoma, situated in the uterine lower se...

Removing a degenerated myoma located around the uterine cornu by an innovative technique shelling the myoma a little away from the base by choice of a low placed incision, advantageous in terms of no requirement of blood transfusion because of the reduction in the surgical time is described in a 24 years old lady demanding a fertility conserving surgery.
