A myoma is a type of tumor that involves muscle cells. [1] There are two main types of myoma: Leiomyomas which occur in smooth muscle. [1] They most commonly occur as uterine fibroids, but may also form in other locations. Rhabdomyomas which occur in striated muscle. [1] [2] [3] They are rare tumors, occur in childhood and often become malignant.
A pseudo-Darier sign may be present. The renal cell carcinoma tends to be of the papillary (type 2) form and tends to occur more commonly in women than men with this syndrome. These cancers present earlier than is usual for renal cell carcinomas (typically in the twenties and thirties) and tend to be at relatively advanced stages at presentation.
They are benign tumors, but may cause pain and discomfort to patients. [2] Genital leiomyoma can be symptomatic or asymptomatic and is dependent on the type of leiomyoma. In most cases, pain in the affected area or region is most common. For vaginal leiomyoma, vaginal bleeding and pain may occur.
The clinical features of uterine adenomyosis vary widely and may include dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, menorrhagia, and/or infertility, with about one in three affected women remaining asymptomatic. [2] Women with uterine adenomyomas (focal adenomyosis) more commonly have co-existing endometriosis and a higher likelihood of infertility compared to ...
Most fibroids do not require treatment unless they are causing symptoms. After menopause, fibroids shrink, and it is unusual for them to cause problems. Uterine fibroids that cause symptoms can be treated by: medication to control symptoms (i.e., symptomatic management) medication aimed at shrinking tumors; ultrasound fibroid destruction
Angioleiomyoma; Other names: Angiomyoma, vascular leiomyoma: Angioleiomyoma, smooth muscles encircling dilatated blood vessels Specialty: Oncology, rheumatology : Symptoms: Pain (with or without tenderness), slow-growing benign mass in the subcutaneous region of the extremities.
Fibroids (leiomyoma) — fibroids in the wall of the uterus cause increased menstrual loss if they protrude into the central cavity and thereby increase endometrial surface area. Coagulation defects (rare) — with the shedding of an endometrial lining's blood vessels, normal coagulation process must occur to limit and eventually stop the blood ...
Adenomyosis can vary widely in the type and severity of symptoms that it causes, ranging from being entirely asymptomatic 33% of the time to being a severe and debilitating condition in some cases. Women with adenomyosis typically first report symptoms when they are between 40 and 50, but symptoms can occur in younger women.
