Conclusions: UAE for pedunculated subserosal fibroids has a low risk of adverse events and effectively reduces fibroid and uterine size.
Analysis of Pregnancy Outcomes after Laparoscopic Myomectomy: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Source : https://www.hindawi.com/journals/cmmm/2022/9685585/
Objective . This study aimed to investigate the factors related to pregnancy outcomes after laparoscopic myomectomy. Methods . A retrospective review was conducted on 156 patients aged 18 to 45...
Conclusions: The size of myoma may influence the pregnancy rate of patients after laparoscopic myomectomy. The number of fibroids can affect the incidence of placental adhesions during postoperative pregnancy.
Metabolomic Profiling of Peripheral Plasma by GC-MS and Correlation With Size of Uterine Leiomyomas - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35611322/
Background: Uterine leiomyomas are benign monoclonal tumors originating from the myometrium. Little information exists concerning metabolomics and the presence of leiomyomas. Objective: The present study evaluated circulating metabolites in the...
Conclusion: There are different plasma metabolites levels of amino acids, fatty acids, and carbohydrates among patients with leiomyomas, most of them reduced, but some significantly increased in large leiomyomas, compared to leiomyoma-free patients.
Human Myometrial and Uterine Fibroid Stem Cell-Derived Organoids for Intervening the Pathophysiology of Uterine Fibroid - Reproductive Sciences

Uterine fibroids (UFs) (leiomyomas or myomas) are the most common clonal neoplasms of the uterus in women of reproductive age worldwide. UFs originate from myometrium consist of smooth muscle and...
Relevance: Gene expression analysis and structural features indicated the early onset of uterine fibrosis led to the accumulation of extracellular matrix suggesting the potential use of this model in better understanding of the pathophysiology associated with UFs and inventing novel therapeutics for the treatment of UFs.

Pyomyoma is a rare complication of uterine fibroid occurring most commonly in pregnancy, post-partum, post-abortion, and post-menopausal periods. It results from infarction, necrosis and secondary infection of leiomyoma. We report...
Follow-up and outcome of interventions: she had two satisfactory postnatal clinic visits and she had no complaints. Histology report showed a degenerating leiomyoma with areas of cystic degeneration, necrosis, foci of suppuration and inflammatory cells infiltrations. There was no neoplastic changes. She was counselled on the possibility of...
