leiomyoma/fever

The case of a patient with severe fever in the puerperium is presented. Ultrasound, CT, and MRI revealed multiple myomas; all the myomas, even the smallest ones, were hypodense on pre- and postcontrast enhanced CT and presented with high signal intensities on T2-weighted MRI. After hysterectomy,

The manifestations of leiomyoma of the large bowel in a 2-year-old boy included prolonged fever, anemia, and thrombocytosis. This parallels the previously reported case in an adult. Awareness of these features may suggest the diagnosis in future patients, and thereby offer opportunities to study the

Uterine leiomyoma causes considerable morbidity in women. This study systematically reviewed the efficacy and safety of gasless laparoscopic myomectomy (GLM) in the management of uterine leiomyoma by comparing GLM with other minimally invasive procedures. Cochrane Library, Pub- Med, EMBASE, Web of

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

Purpose To assess the safety and efficacy of ultrasonography (US)-guided suprapubic transvaginal (ST) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of symptomatic uterine leiomyomas at 1-year follow-up. Materials and Methods The institutional review board approved this prospective study, and all

Pyomyoma is an unusual complication of leiomyoma, occurring most commonly in the postpartum, postabortal, and post-menopausal periods. It develops due to infection in necrotic foci within leiomyoma, which is more common during pregnancy due to rapid growth, and in postmenopausal women due to
