Introduction: Despite reports of pseudo lymphovascular space involvement (LVSI) in total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) in recent years, we recently experienced a misdiagnosis of pseudo-LVSI after TLH for uterine myoma, having observed irregularities in excised specimens. Additional surgery found no abnormalities, resulting in an unfortunate case of overtreatment. For this reason, we reviewed ...

mone-sensitive tumors arising from smooth muscles and occurring in 20 to 40% of women of reproductive age (1, 2). This means that they are the most common benign uterine tumors in women of reproductive age. The most common concomitant symptoms are menorrhagia and iron deficiency anaemia, which in some cases cannot be treated adequately by iron substitution (3-5). Heavy menstrual bleeding means ...

Objective: The natural growth progression of uterine leiomyomata will be studied and used to identify potential predictive criteria of myoma size development. This should answer the question of whether myoma growth is dependent on patient age, or on the localisation or original size of the myoma, as well as how much of a size increase can be expected per unit of time, and the proportion of myom...
