[Levels of ferritin and iron in women with leiomyoma of the uterus treated surgically].

The aim of the work were changes of serum ferritin and iron concentrations in women with leiomyoma of the uterus treated surgically. We took the growth of the leiomyomatous uterus under concern. We observed the lower serum ferritin and iron concentrations before the surgical treatment, and the correlation with the growth of the leiomyoma.
