Degenerative changes are encountered relatively frequently in uterine leiomyomas. Morphologic changes within leiomyomas, particularly necrosis and alterations in cellularity, have been described following treatment with gonadotrophin releasing hormone analogue, but the effects of this form of treatment on the morphology of the normal myometrium are less well documented. A case is reported of a ...

Primary peritoneal tumors share a common anatomical site and therefore their clinical manifestations are very similar. When masses detected, the tentative initial diagnosis is secondary to metastatic disease, which has been determined most frequently in cavity.

Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare benign tumor of the uterus mesoderm, which can spread via the vein, from the micro-vein to the inferior vena cava, and even to the right atrium.

On rare occasions, the tumors may extend into the regional and...

Herein we report the clinical, histopathological, and molecular features of a cancer syndrome with predisposition to uterine leiomyomas and papillary renal cell carcinoma. The studied kindred included 11 family members with uterine leiomyomas and two with uterine leiomyosarcoma. Seven individuals had a history of cutaneous nodules, two of which were confirmed to be cutaneous leiomyomatosis. The...
