BACKGROUND Uterine myoma is the most common benign gynecologic tumor in reproductive-aged women. During myomectomy for women who want to preserve fertility, it is advisable to detect and remove all myomas to decrease the risk of additional surgery.

One type of sarcoma is leiomyosarcoma and the location of this tumor in cervix is very rare. Although uterine sarcoma can involve the cervix and lead to misdiagnosis of cervical leiomyosarcoma, the location of the bulk of the tumor in uterine cervix (not isthmus) for diagnosis of cervic...

Introduction: The burden of uterine fibroids in sub-Saharan Africa is substantial with up to 80% black women harboring them their lifetime. With few treatment options currently available the region, this study explores potential role artery embolization (UAE) as an alternative surgery.

Uterine leiomyomas pose a significant health issue to reproductive-age women. Many women desire uterine conservation, and previously safe and efficacious therapies have been limited. Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery is a new noninvasive therapy that has been proven to be both safe and efficacious in the treatment of fibroids.

Uterine leiomyoma is one of the most common gynecological tumor, whereas acute torsion of the uterine leiomyoma is very rare. We report a case of subserosal leiomyoma that was first detected by ultrasonography, and further confirmed as torsion of subserosal leiomyoma by laparoscopic surgery.

Type I is caused by implantation of the amniotic sac on the scar with progression toward either the...

Context Uterine scar defects or scar niche are relatively common after cesarean delivery. An association has been observed between the severity of scar defect, also known as isthmocele, some gynecologic symptoms, and the risk of uterine scar dehiscence at the next delivery. It has been suggested that surgical repair of scar defect could improve the gynecological symptoms, but it remains unclear...
