Ossification in uterine leiomyomas
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION It is common for leiomyoma to undergo various secondary changes like hyaline degeneration, cystic change, myxoid degeneration, infection, necrosis, calcification, red degeneration and very rarely ossification. They are said to result from inadequate blood supply resulting in replacement of muscle fibres by hyaline material, collagen, calcium, mucopolysaccharides or a combination of these. There is scarcity of literature regarding ossification of leiomyomas. 1

I-50: The Effect of Uterine Leiomyomas on Reproductive Performance
Background: Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are now known to be highly variable in their clinical behavior and biologic basis. However, the approach to leiomyomas and their effect on fertility, miscarriage and pregnancy complications has been based on location alone. Materials and Methods: This talk with bring together published information on the effect of leiomyomas on reproductive performance ...
متن کاملIdentification of uterine leiomyoma-specific marker genes based on DNA methylation and their clinical application
Differential diagnosis of uterine leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas is needed to determine whether the uterus can be retained. Therefore, biomarkers for uterine leiomyomas, and reliable and objective diagnostic methods have been desired besides the pathological diagnosis. In the present study, we identified 12 genes specific to uterine leiomyomas based on DNA methylation. Using these marker genes ...

Cutaneous leiomyomas, rare benign tumors originating from the arrector pili muscle of the hair follicle, can be associated with the common uterine fibroids in a syndrome called multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas. Multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas are inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, providing an excellent opportunity for the study of the common non-Mendelian manifestatio...
متن کاملAnxiety and Feelings toward Their Baby among Pregnant Women with Uterine Leiomyomas.
Pregnant women with uterine leiomyomas may experience anxiety toward their pregnancies and unfavorable feelings toward their infants. From March to July 2010, we distributed anonymous self-recorded questionnaires to 200 pregnant women who visited Okayama Central Hospital for an antenatal check-up after informed consent was provided, and 132 women (23 pregnant women with uterine leiomyomas) were...
متن کاملAnalysis of MED12 Mutation in Multiple Uterine Leiomyomas in South Korean patients
Uterine leiomyomas are one of the most common benign gynecologic tumors, but the exact causes are not completely understood. In 2011, through DNA sequencing, MED12 mutation was discovered in approximately 71% of uterine leiomyomas. Several recent studies confirmed the high frequency of MED12 mutation in uterine leiomyoma. Nevertheless, no study has been done on MED12 mutation in the case of pat...
