Insights of Uterine Leiomyoma: a review
نویسنده
چکیده
Uterine leiomyoma are benign mesenchymal solid tumors originating from smooth muscle cells during the fertile stage of life. There are various factors that are associated to underlie the development and incidence of these myomas. A number of chromosomal alterations and gene mutations are responsible for the leading cause of uterine leiomyoma: the most common of which include translocation on chromosome 7 and translocation on chromosome 12 targeting HMGA and RAD51L1 mutation.

متن کاملA Case of Benign Metastasizing Leiomyoma with Multiple Metastasis to the Soft Tissue, Skeletal Muscle, Lung and Breast
Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is composed of well-differentiated smooth muscle cells and dense connective tissue. BML affects middle-aged women who have had previous hysterectomies due to a histologically benign-appearing uterine leiomyoma. We report here on a case of BML from the uterine leiomyoma in a 39-year-old woman that involved the soft tissues, skeletal muscles, lungs and breasts...
