What is Myometrial myoma?

What is Myometrial myoma?

Uterine myomas Myomas, also called leiomyomas or fibroids, are benign tumors arising from the smooth muscle of the uterus. In addition to smooth muscle, most myomas contain varying amount of fibrous tissue. They are most commonly seen in the fourth and fifth decades and their growth is estrogen-dependent [1].

Is uterine myoma cancerous?

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus. They are very common and often do not cause symptoms. However, fibroids sometimes do cause problems such as heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure or pain, and frequent urination.

What is parasitic myoma?

Parasitic leiomyoma is a rare variant of a common gynecologic entity. It classically is defined as a pedunculated subserosal fibroid that undergoes torsion, detaches from the uterus, and sustains its growth through neovascularization from adjacent tissues.

How is myoma treated?

Presently, the following options exist for effective myoma treatment, starting from the most conservative approach to the most invasive approach: symptomatic treatment with oral contraceptive pills or levonorgestrel-releasing IUDs, ulipristal acetate treatment, HIFU, myoma embolization, surgical myomectomy ( …

What is Subserosal myoma?

A subserosal fibroid, or subserosal leiomyoma, is a benign growth on the outer uterine wall. They may be attached directly to the uterus or by a thin stalk, also known as a pedunculated fibroid.

What is posterior Myometrial fibroid?

There are several types of intramural fibroids: anterior intramural fibroid, located in the front of the uterus. posterior intramural fibroid, located in the back of the uterus. fundal intramural fibroid, located in the upper part of the uterus.

What size of myoma need surgery?

Most experts believe that about 9-10 centimeters (about 4 inches) diameter is the largest size fibroid that should be removed laparoscopically.

What is the difference between myoma and fibroid?

A myoma, commonly known as a fibroid, is a benign (noncancerous) tumor that develops in or around the uterus. Fibroids are medically known as leiomyomas and are tumors of the smooth muscle, the tissue that normally makes up that wall of the uterus.

Can parasites cause fibroids?

Secondary or iatrogenic parasitic fibroids are the more common form of parasitic fibroids and are seen as a complication of previous myomectomy particularly following laparoscopy using morcellator.

What is fibroid Morcellation?

Morcellation is a surgical technique used to reduce the size of the uterus or myomas by creating smaller pieces to allow the tissue to be removed through small incisions or with laparoscopic instruments.
