Histopathological and Digital Morphometrical Evaluation of Uterine Leiomyoma in Brazilian Women
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current study aims to evaluate histopathological and digital morphometrical aspects associated with uterine leiomyomas in one hundred and fifty (150) patients diagnosed with leiomyoma. Uterine tissues were subjected to the histopathological and digital morphometric analyses of the interstitial collagen distribution. The analysis of medical records indicates that most of the women diagnosed with uterine leiomyomas (68.7%) are between 37 and 48 years old. As for the anatomic location of the tumors, approximately 61.4% of the patients had intramural and subserosal lesions. In 50% of the studied cases, the patients developed uterine leiomyomatosis (with more than eight tumors). As for the morphometric study, the average size of the interstitial collagen distribution held approximately 28.53% of the capture area, whereas it was of 7.43% in the normal tissue adjacent to the tumor. Another important aspect observed in the current study was the high rate of young women subjected to total hysterectomy, a fact that resulted in early and definitive sterility.

Association of FAS A-670G Polymorphism and Risk of Uterine Leiomyoma in a Southeast Iranian Population
Background: Uterine leiomyoma (UL) is a benign tumor of uterine smooth muscle that affects women in reproductive ages. FAS has an important role in initial stages of apoptosis. Previous studies have shown an association between the FAS gene and tumorigenesis. In the present study, we evaluated the relationship between FAS A-670G (rs 1800682) and UL risk. Methods: The FAS gene polymorphism of...
متن کاملEstrogen receptor alpha polymorphism and susceptibility to uterine leiomyoma.
Uterine leiomyoma is the most frequent pelvic tumor found in female genital tract. Some studies have suggested an association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in estrogen receptors genes with susceptibility in developing uterine leiomyoma. In this work, we estimated the frequency of two SNPs: one located in the intron 1 (rs9322331) and other in the exon 1 (rs17847075) of the estro...
متن کاملUterine Leiomyoma and Reproductive Tract Infections Detected by Polymerase Chain Reaction
Background and Objective: For nearly a century, it has been suspected that reproductive tract infections play an etiologic role in uterine leiomyoma. However, no epidemiologic study of leiomyoma has used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to compare uterine tissues from cases and non-cases, and to investigate associations between uterine leiomyoma and infections detected by PC...

Successful pregnancy outcome after laparoscopic-assisted excision of a bizarre leiomyoma: a case report
INTRODUCTION Bizarre leiomyoma is a rare leiomyoma variant that requires a precise histopathological evaluation. Especially when diagnosed in a younger woman, this tumor leads to challenging treatment issues involving fertility preservation. Owing to the low incidence of bizarre leiomyoma, there is insufficient evidence to support myomectomy alone as an appropriate management option. Also, the ...
