Being one of the commonest tumors of the female genital tract during the reproductive years, the leiomyoma uteri expectedly demonstrates a wide spectrum of histological variations. However, heterologous tissue differentiation is a rare finding and frank bone formation is even rarer. The factors that lead to heterologous tissue formation in a leiomyoma are subject to speculation. This is a rare case report and possibly the first, on the formation of pure mature bone in a uterine leiomyoma.

Giant gastric leiomyoma excision using endoscopic submucosal dissection with dental floss clip traction technique: a case report.
J Int Med Res

For gastric leiomyomas measuring ≥5 cm, endoscopic resection is necessary. The larger size of these tumors significantly impairs the resection field of view, increasing the risk of intraoperative bleeding and perforation and potentially leading to incomplete tumor removal. The combination of dental floss and tissue clip traction techniques is commonly used for resecting mucosal lesions but is rarely reported for submucosal tumors.

Uterine inversion is a rare condition that refers to the collapse of the fundus into the uterine cavity and occurs in puerperal and non-puerperal conditions. Non-puerperal uterine inversion is particularly infrequent. Diagnosing non-puerperal uterine inversion is often challenging because it resembles vaginal or cervical tumors and pelvic organ prolapse.

This study investigated the impact of menopause on the progression and management of common benign gynecological conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and adenomyosis. These conditions often present with menstruation-related symptoms such as irregular cycles, heavy bleeding, and pelvic pain. While these symptoms typically subside after menopause, the underlying pathology of such benign gynecological conditions may be differentially affected by the physiological changes associated with menopause, sometimes leading to exacerbation or additional management challenges.

Background: Some studies have suggested that complications during pregnancy, such as preeclampsia, leiomyoma during pregnancy, oxytocin induction, and mode of delivery, may be risk factors for neonatal jaundice. Herein, we applied Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate a causal association between pregnancy disorders and neonatal jaundice.
Methods: Data related to neonatal jaundice and pregnancy disorders (including pre-eclampsia or eclampsia, gestational diabetes, and gestational edema) were sourced from the FinnGen Consortium and Integrated Epidemiology Unit (IEU) databases.
A Rare Presentation of Disseminated Peritoneal Leiomyomatosis Following Laparoscopic Hysterectomy and Its Multidisciplinary Management.

Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL) is a rare entity. It is a benign disease but can mimic disseminated malignancy with extensive disease at multiple sites within the abdominopelvic cavity. The primary contributing factor is postulated to be peritoneal spillage of benign leiomyoma, especially after laparoscopic intervention, although hormonal influences might also play a role.
