Erler-Zimmer GmbH & Co. KG 3D model of uterine fibroids:
- Model: MP2107
- Clinical History: A 30-year-old woman presented with infertility. She also reported intermittent abdominal discomfort, menorrhagia, and painful periods. On examination, a palpable pelvic mass was present. All of her blood tests were within normal limits. Pelvic ultrasound showed a hypoechoic mass in the uterine myometrium. She was referred for histoscopic myomectomy, but unfortunately, complications required her operation to be converted to an emergency hysterectomy. She made a full recovery in the postoperative period.
- Pathology: The specimen includes the cervix, body, and fundus. The uterus, which is of normal size, is sectioned in the sagittal plane. A large oval mass, approximately 4 cm x 2 cm, protrudes into the uterine cavity and directly invades the cervical os. It originates from the dorsal aspect of the uterus. The cervix is clearly visible.
- Additional Information: Uterine leiomyomas, also known as fibroids, are the most common pelvic tumors in women. They occur in approximately 25% of women of reproductive age. They are benign tumors derived from uterine myosin and fibroblasts. They most commonly affect the corpus uteri. Occasionally, they may affect the lower uterus or cervix. Leiomyomas may be single or multiple and may grow to considerable size. There are rare variants that can spread and extend distally but are still considered benign: e.g., benign metastatic leiomyoma, which usually spreads to the mucosa; or disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis, which occurs in the peritoneum covering the uterus.
