Introduction: Inflammatory fibroid polyps is a rare entity that mostly occur in the stomach. Gastric type is usually asymptomatic or may show nonspecific symptoms. Diagnosis is mainly postoperative with limited roles of usual diagnostic
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
We aimed to investigate the role of Shearwave Elastography (SWE) in the evaluation of response to uterine artery embolization (UAE) in patients with uterine leiomyomas.SWE images of the dominant uterin leiomyomas were obtained before and 1.5 months after OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether dexmedetomidine infusion could reduce opioid consumption and opioid-related side effects after uterine artery embolization (UAE).
METHODS
Fifty patients undergoing UAE for symptomatic leiomyomas or adenomyosis were randomized into two groups. In 25 patients,
OBJECTIVE
We evaluated the postoperative changes in serum electrolytes in relation to the amount of irrigating fluid absorption and the occurrence of nausea and vomiting after transcervical resection of endometrium and submucous fibroids.
METHODS
From May 1989 to October 1991, 101 consecutive
BACKGROUND
Inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs) are rare and small benign lesions throughout the digestive tract. The most common location is gastric antrum, but rarely at the upper part. Clinical manifestations of IFPs usually include intestinal obstruction, intussusception, abdominal pain, nausea
A 64-yr-old woman with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and fecal impaction was found at autopsy to have an ileal obstruction by an intraluminal, calcified, spiculated mass. Examination revealed that this calcified mass had the features of a uterine leiomyoma. We postulate that a calcified,
Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a rare benign lesion, originating from the submucosa in the gastrointestinal tract. It generally appears as an isolated benign lesion, rarely located at the level of the ileum. Its origin is controversial. Clinical presentation varies depending on its location;
BACKGROUND Benign esophageal tumors are considered rare, and most commonly are leiomyomas with the incidence of 0.005%. They arise intramurally in the distal two-thirds of the esophagus and are multiple in about 5% of patients. Leiomyoma lesions can mimic esophageal cancer making the diagnosis more
BACKGROUND Hypercalcemic crisis is defined as a serum calcium level >14 mg/dL in a symptomatic patient. While severe hypercalcemia during pregnancy is rare, it poses a life-threatening risk to both mother and fetus. Hypercalcemia in association with a benign tumor such as a leiomyoma is
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate if pre- and post-procedure administration of controlled-release oxycodone (CRO) in combination with standard analgesia improves pain control and decreases the amount of required post-procedure opioids in uterine fibroid embolisation (UFE).
METHODS
Between January 2009 and March
BACKGROUND
Uterine myomas are benign tumours affecting 20-40% women. Various medical and surgical therapeutic options are available but the search for an ideal medical option continues. Aromatase inhibitors have recently been reported to have a potential role in the management of oestrogen-dependent
BACKGROUND
An inflammatory fibroid polyp is a rare condition with frequent localisation in the antrum of the stomach. Because of the localisation in the bottom parts of the mucosa and submucosa, a histological diagnosis is difficult to establish at endoscopic biopsies. So, a correct diagnosis is
OBJECTIVE
To compare the effects of embolic agents with different particle sizes on interventional treatment of uterine fibroids (UFs).
METHODS
One-hundred and thirty patients with UFs were divided into a treatment group and a control group (n=65) by random draw. All patients were treated by uterine
Conscious sedation and analgesia are integral components of successful uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), both in providing comfort to the anxious patient undergoing an elective procedure and for providing relief of the severe pelvic pain, cramps, and nausea that may result from acute uterine
