Leiomyomas are common in the genitourinary and gastrointestinal tracts and less frequent in skin and soft tissue. It is quite uncommon for them to develop in the breast, especially in the breast parenchyma. Only 12 cases of leiomyoma in the breast parenchyma proper apart from the areola have been reported. We present a thirteenth case, the first to be reported in Japan. Its clinical features, mammographic and ultrasonographic findings, histological and immunohistochemical characteristics are quite consistent with previous reports.

Article Synopsis
- The study created and validated a nomogram to predict the risk of non-infectious fever (NIF) in patients after laparoscopic myomectomy using data from 576 patients.
- It identified important risk factors for NIF, including the size and number of leiomyomas, preoperative hemoglobin levels, operative time, and estimated blood loss.
- The nomogram proved accurate and can help doctors identify high-risk patients early, enabling better preventive care and management strategies.
