Operative laparoscopy can replace hysterectomy in the treatment of submucous and subserosal uterine fibromyomas. Interstitial myomas are still treated using traditional methods. Using an Nd:YAG laser with a quartz fibre which diffuses the ray, we induced delayed necrosis of myoma secondary to the
The typical presentation of infectious mononucleosis (IM) is characterized by a triad of fever, pharyngitis, and lymphadenopathy. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the most common etiologic agent for IM. Humans are the reservoir for EBV, and it is transmitted via intimate contact between individuals. This
We report a case of fibromatosis, soft tissue tumors that are benign histologically, but exhibit behavior intermediate between benign and malignant diseases. Mesenteric fibromatosis grows vigorously without a general inflammatory reaction, and its symptoms are the result of obstruction and/or
BACKGROUND
Pyomyoma is a life-threatening complication of uterine leiomyoma. It may occur in post- menopausal women, during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. Fever may be the only manifestation during the early stages of the disease. We detail the first reported case of postpartum
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopically assisted myomectomy (LAM) for uterine intramural fibroids.
METHODS
Thirty-seven selected patients with uterine intramural fibroids with the diameters > 5 cm and < 9 cm were subjected to LAM technique, the intramural fibroid of 2
A 55-year-old woman in a perimenopausal state presented with severe suprapubic pain and fever. Physical examination revealed a tender pelvic mass measuring 24 weeks in size. Ultrasound of the pelvis and CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis showed a 12 cm mass arising from the posterior wall of the
A retrospective study to determine the incidence, clinical presentation and management of uterine fibromyoma at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria. Five hundred and sixty-nine consecutive cases of histologically confirmed uterine fibroid over a ten-year period were reviewed.
OBJECTIVE
To compare the effects of MRI- and CT-guided interventional therapies on uterine fibroids.
METHODS
A total of 280 patients with uterine fibroids who were treated in our hospital from August 2008 to February 2014 were selected and divided into a treatment group and a control group by random
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a 'baseball' suture technique for uterine myomectomy incision closure in laparoscopic surgical enucleation of uterine leiomyoma (fibroid). MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 20 patients who underwent laparoscopic
Objective. To determine the influence of age and parity on the surgical management of uterine fibroids, clinical presentation, presence of pelvic adhesions, cadre of surgeons, and postoperative complications at the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano, Nigeria. Methods. A retrospective analysis of 105
BACKGROUND
Uterine fibroids cause heavy and prolonged bleeding, pain, pressure symptoms and subfertility but are mostly benign. The traditional method of treatment has been surgery as long term medical therapies have not shown to be effective. Uterine artery embolization (UAE - complete occlusion of
BACKGROUND
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is an effective and accepted management option for symptomatic uterine fibroids. This case report presents a complication following UAE and is followed by a review outlining the need to monitor quality of care for women who undergo this
OBJECTIVE
Many fibroids regress with pregnancy or postpartum involution. We sought to identify factors that might inhibit or enhance this natural regression.
METHODS
We used a prospective cohort of women with fibroids (n = 494) determined by ultrasound screening during the early first trimester
