Background: Uterine leiomyomas are rare in the adolescent age group, with smooth muscle tumors of unknown malignant potential (STUMP) tumors being even exceedingly rarer in young patients.
Case: Three cases aged 19 years, two with abnormal uterine bleeding and one with pelvic pain, were admitted to the hospital. Uterine myomas measuring 5, 7 and 12 centimeters were detected in the patients.

In the present study, we aimed to investigate intratumoral karyotype diversity as well as the estrogen/progesterone effect on the cytogenetic profile of uterine leiomyomas (ULs). A total of 15 UL samples obtained from 15 patients were cultured in the media supplemented with estrogen and/or progesterone and without adding hormones. Conventional cytogenetic analysis of culture samples revealed clonal chromosomal abnormalities in 11 out of 15 ULs.

Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare uterine malignancy that causes non-specific symptoms which presents more typically in younger women compared to other uterine sarcomas. Preoperative diagnosis of myometrial LGESS is challenging, as it is frequently mistaken for a benign uterine mass, such as a degenerating leiomyoma. Despite its rarity, the imaging findings of LGESS are highly variable, complicating the diagnostic process.

In the part I, we have already reported the rationale, efficacy, complication, and limitation of using transcervical resection of myoma (TCRM) in the management of women with symptomatic uterine fibroids, particularly for those belonging to the International Federation of Gynaecology & Obstetrics (FIGO) myoma classification system as FIGO types 0-2. The current review as part II, the discussion will focus on the techniques, tips and complication prevention or management when TCRM is applied in the management of women with symptomatic submucosal myoma. With better understanding for TCRM-related basic knowledge, such as rationale, efficacy, complication, technique review, tips and prevention or management of complications, plus the well-training and carefully performing TCRM through preceding accurate diagnosis, and good and careful preparation and intensive monitoring during operation and using effective strategy to preventing short-term and long-term complications, TCRM can become one of most powerful strategies in offering the less traumatic injury to the uterus, and an effective and safe surgical approach in dealing with women with symptomatic submucosal myoma.

Uterine fibroids occur frequently in women during the reproductive age, and they are rarely associated with clinical meaning because of their benign characteristics and asymptomatic clinical presentation. Sometimes, uterine fibroids are symptomatic and associated with compression syndrome, infertility, chronic pelvic pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. All need further intervention and treatment.
