Very pronounced bowel sparing during radiation therapy for anal carcinoma using a natural spacer (Myoma) - a case report.
Radiat Oncol
October 2024
Department of Radiation Oncology, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, Giessen-Marburg University Hospital, Giessen, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- A case study highlights the use of a large myomatous uterus as a natural spacer during radiation therapy for a female patient with locally advanced anal carcinoma, helping to protect the bowel from excess radiation exposure.
- The patient initially presented with anal pain, and subsequent examinations confirmed a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma, with imaging revealing a large uterus containing multiple leiomyomas.
- The presence of these leiomyomas minimized the radiation dose to the small intestine, leading to virtually no acute gastrointestinal toxicity during the patient's chemoradiation treatment.

Myomatous erythrocytosis syndrome is a rare phenomenon of secondary polycythemia evolving from uterine leiomyoma. Although the underlying pathology is still unknown, patients have an increased risk of venous thrombosis. A 44-year-old GO (gravida zero) presented with an incidental finding of secondary polycythemia, and a diagnosis of myomatous erythrocytosis syndrome was made because of her large uterine fibroids.

Contained electromechanical morcellation has emerged as a safety approach for laparoscopic myomatous tissue retrieval. This retrospective single-center analysis evaluated the bag deployment practicability and safety of electromechanical in-bag morcellation when used for big surgical benign specimens. The main age of patients was 39.

A 39-year-old nulliparous woman with a previously known cervical myoma was admitted to the obstetrics department during the first trimester with complaints of severe abdominal pain, lack of bowel movements and the suspicion of a clinical bowel obstruction. Because no literature on this exact condition could be found, clinical decisions were based on reports and practice in similar situations. Ultrasound revealed the progression of a cervical myoma (previously 9 cm across), now 12 × 12 × 11 cm in size and a distended large bowel.
