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 ...
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.
However, only 30% of people with uteri experience symptoms. [3] Of those with uterine leiomyomas, 29% result in hospitalizations. [4] One-third of patients with these fibroids experience life-threatening anemia, a condition where the body does not have enough oxygen due to lack of red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body.

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 ...
Hematological values such as hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell counts are elevated in patients with myomatous erythrocytosis syndrome. [3]The diagnostic criteria for myomatous erythrocytosis syndrome includes polycythemia, uterine myoma, and return of hemoglobin levels to normal following fibroid excision surgery.
Symptoms: Pain (with or without tenderness), slow-growing benign mass in the subcutaneous region of the extremities. [1] Usual onset: Can occur at any age, with a peak in middle age. [2] Causes: Unknown. Differential diagnosis: Many, including ganglion cyst, traumatic neuroma, schwannoma, eccrine spiradenoma, angiolipoma, fibroma and synovial ...
A rhabdomyoma is a benign tumor of striated muscle.Rhabdomyomas may be either cardiac or extracardiac (occurring outside the heart). Extracardiac forms of rhabdomyoma are sub-classified into three distinct types: adult type, fetal type, and genital type.
They often cause bulk-related symptoms, which can be characterized by back pain, heaviness in the pelvic area, abdominal bloating. [5] Uterine artery embolization may be done to treat bothersome bulk-related symptoms as well as abnormal or heavy uterine bleeding due to uterine fibroids. Fibroid size, number, and location are three potential ...
