Leiomyoma enucleated from a uterus. External surface on left; cut surface on right. Micrograph of a small, well-circumscribed colonic leiomyoma arising from the muscularis mucosae and showing fascicles of spindle cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm and elongated, cigar-shaped nuclei Immunohistochemistry for β-catenin in uterine leiomyoma, which is negative as there is only staining of cytoplasm ...
Diagnosis with transvaginal ultrasonography can potentially be challenging due to the similar appearance of uterine leiomyomas (also known as uterine fibroids). Careful evaluation of the margins of the mass, the vascular flow patterns through the tumor, and the degree to which the tumor distorts the uterus may aid in differentiating these ...
Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas, fibromyoma or fibroids, are benign smooth muscle tumors of the uterus, part of the female reproductive system. [1] Most people [note 1] with fibroids have no symptoms while others may have painful or heavy periods. [1] If large enough, they may push on the bladder, causing a frequent need to ...
Adenomyosis is a medical condition characterized by the growth of cells that proliferate on the inside of the uterus (endometrium) atypically located among the cells of the uterine wall , [2] as a result, thickening of the uterus occurs. As well as being misplaced in patients with this condition, endometrial tissue is completely functional.
Benign gynecological conditions include fecal incontinence, urinary incontinence, uterine and/or vaginal wall prolapse, interstitial cystitis, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis, benign ovarian masses, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, adenomyosis, endometrial polyps, and endometrial ...
Genital leiomyomas (also known as dartoic leiomyomas) are leiomyomas that originate in the dartos muscles, or smooth muscles, of the genitalia, areola, and nipple. [1] They are a subtype of cutaneous leiomyomas that affect smooth muscle found in the scrotum, labia, or nipple. They are benign tumors, but may cause pain and discomfort to patients ...
An endometrial stromal nodule is a noninfiltrative, circumscribed proliferation of endometrial stromal cells and is a benign subtype of endometrial stromal tumor. The appearance of the cells is identical to normal endometrial stromal cells. This can only be differentiated from low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma by confirming lack of ...
Cutaneous leiomyoma, also known as leiomyoma cutis, [1] or cutaneous leiomyomata, [2] is a benign skin tumor made of smooth muscle cells. [3] There are three different types of cutaneous leiomyomas, genital leiomyomas, angioleiomyomas, and piloleiomyomas. Cutaneous leiomyomas can occur sporadically or as a part of a genetic condition.
