    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_leiomyoma

    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.

  4. Genital leiomyoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genital_leiomyoma

    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. Uterine leiomyoma may exhibit pain in the area as well as painful bowel movement and/or sexual intercourse.

  5. Uterine fibroid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterine_fibroid

    Physical examination and ultrasound are sufficient for diagnosing uterine fibroids in the majority of people. When ultrasound findings are inconclusive, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be able to confirm the diagnosis of uterine fibroids in most cases. In addition, MRI can identify benign uterine fibroids with atypical imaging features and ...

    No or mild atypia, no tumor cell necrosis ⇒ leiomyoma. If 5 or more mitotic figures are present in 10 high powered fields but the behavior still appears benign, may append “with significant mitotic activity”. Moderate to severe atypia without tumor cell necrosis atypical leiomyoma if < 10 mitotic figures per high power field or

  7. Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer syndrome

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereditary_leiomyomatosis...

    HLRCC is an autosomal dominant condition caused by a mutation in the FH gene, which results in dysfunction of the citric acid cycle, leading to an accumulation of fumarate. [7] [12] The fumarate hydratase gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 1 (1q42.3-43), spans 22 kilobases and has 10 exons; the first exon codes for a signal peptide.

  8. Bronchial leiomyoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchial_leiomyoma

    A bronchial leiomyoma is a relatively rare form of lung tumours. These tumours can form in the lower respiratory tract tissue of the bronchi, trachea and other lung tissue. They may also be derived from blood vessels. [1] These tumors typically form from the smooth muscle tissue lining the bronchi. They grow as a solitary tumor attaching ...

    In Bristol University's study Children of the 90s, 2.5% of 4,000 people born in 1991 and 1992 were found by ultrasound scanning at the age of 18 to have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; five years later transient elastography found over 20% to have the fatty deposits on the liver of steatosis, indicating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease ...
