Fibroids are common in women of reproductive age (and are often multiple). Myomectomy enhances fertility, but for this option to be appropriate accurate preoperative imaging is crucial. The goal of...
Discussion: The utility of various imaging techniques is reviewed, with a heavy emphasis on the two main-stays in fibroid imaging, ultrasound (including saline infusion sonohysterography) and magnetic resonance imaging. The relative merits of the various preoperative imaging techniques are discussed.

Uterine fibroids (UFs) are the most common benign tumors of female genital diseases, unlike uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS), a rare and aggressive uterine cancer. This narrative review aims to discuss the...
Conclusion: Even though there is not yet a non-invasive technique to diagnose uterine LMS, the development and the utilization of molecular techniques has had a promising influence on possible preoperative diagnoses as well as on the treatment and prognosis of uterine LMS. There are some molecular candidates for differential diagnosis between...
