(1) The reference treatment for uterine leiomyoma with major symptoms is surgery. (2) Leuprorelin and triptorelin, two Gn-RH analogues, are the first drugs to be licensed in France for preoperative treatment of uterine leiomyoma associated with anaemia, when a reduction in the size of the leiomyoma
We report a case of primary intracranial leiomyoma in 29-year-old woman presented with severe headache. The radiology diagnosis was consistent with meningioma. However, histologically, the tumor had the characteristic appearance of benign smooth muscle. This was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and
Leiomyomas, benign tumors of well-differentiated smooth muscle and vascular collagenous tissue, usually occur in the uterus but can develop wherever smooth muscle is present. Primary intracranial leiomyomas are rare tumors. We present the case of a 40-year-old woman with a primary intraventricular
Uterine leiomyomas are benign, often asymptomatic, tumours of the uterus. When they are symptomatic, the most frequent symptom is heavy, prolonged menstrual bleeding, which stops at menopause. When this blood loss causes iron-deficiency anaemia, iron supplementation is justified. Various treatments
Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of elagolix, an oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist, with hormonal add-back therapy for up to 12 months in women with heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine leiomyomas.
Leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle tumors commonly found in the genitourinary or gastrointestinal tracts. Rarely, they present as primary intracranial extra-axial brain tumors. Most of these lesions have been described in immunocompromised patients, but have been found very rarely in the
BACKGROUND
A 45 year old female renal transplant recipient presented with headaches of 3 months duration. Clinical and radiological evaluation revealed an approximately 4x4 cm rounded, enhancing mass at the left temporal pole. At surgery, the mass had dural attachment and clinically,
OBJECTIVE
To assess long term safety of extended repeated 3-month courses of ulipristal acetate (UPA) 10 mg/day, for up to 8 courses, with focus on endometrial and laboratory safety parameters.
METHODS
This long-term, multi-center, open-label cohort, follow up study consisted of up to 8 consecutive
BACKGROUND
The efficacy and safety of oral ulipristal acetate for the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids before surgery are uncertain.
METHODS
We randomly assigned women with symptomatic fibroids, excessive uterine bleeding (a score of >100 on the pictorial blood-loss assessment chart [PBAC,
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) manifests with a thunderclap headache and reversible vascular abnormalities. Red blood cell transfusions have not been well identified as a risk factor for RCVS. We report a rare case of acute brain injury resulting from RCVS after a packed red
BACKGROUND
The validity of tryptoreline treatment in uterine myomatosis is demonstrated, both as alternative therapy to surgery in patients in fertile age and as preoperative therapy reducing myomatosis volume.
METHODS
In the outpatients department of Gynecologic and Obstetric Institute of the
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of letrozole in combination with cabergoline and letrozole alone on regression of symptomatic uterine myomas in women of reproductive age.
METHODS
Randomized controlled clinical trial.
METHODS
University hospital.
METHODS
Ninety-one women of reproductive age were
A 48-year-old woman underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy after preoperative diagnosis of multiple uterine leiomyomas. The histopathological diagnosis was leiomyosarcoma (LMS). After 47 months, multiple lung metastases were detected and resected. The patient was also diagnosed with pelvic bone
