Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign tumors of the gynecological tract. Massive lymphocytic infiltration has been reported rarely in uterine leiomyomas and it has been described as a pathogenetic correlation with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists. Uterine leiomyomas with massive lymphoid infiltration have to be differentiated from non-Hodgkin lymphomas. We report a case of a woman without a history of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist treatment, who presented with a uterine leiomyoma that increased in size after the procedure of assisted in-vitro fertilization, and associated with massive nodular lymphoid infiltrate simulating, morphologically, a non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Uterine leiomyoma with massive lymphocytic infiltration is a very rare entity, probably of reactive significance, which has to be differentiated from diseases that need a systemic therapeutic approach.

Uterine preservation in pyomyoma complicating uterine artery embolisation.

Pyomyoma, a rare complication of uterine artery embolisation (UAE) for symptomatic fibroids, can closely mimic post-embolisation syndrome (PES), which typically presents with pain, fever and leucocytosis within the first week. Differentiating PES from pyomyoma is critical, as pyomyoma carries a higher risk of severe complications. We report a case of an unmarried nulliparous woman who developed pyomyoma following UAE for fibroids.

Objective: Low placentation is associated with increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). There is a paucity of data on the association between second trimester low placentation that later resolves, and PPH. Our objective was to investigate the association of resolved low placentation and other prenatal ultrasound markers, and PPH with delivery.

Rationale: Postpartum haemorrhage, defined as a blood loss of 500 mL or more within 24 hours of birth, is the leading global cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus, and affect an increasing number of women. Caesarean myomectomy is the surgical removal of fibroids during a caesarean section.

Uterine leiomyoma, also referred to as fibroid or myoma, is a prevalent benign tumor that can present with a range of clinical manifestations. The symptoms, which vary based on the tumor's location, size, and number, include pain, constipation, urinary disturbances, and abnormal menstrual bleeding. Certain types of uterine leiomyomas, such as pedunculated subserosal myomas or large degenerating cystic myomas, may closely mimic ovarian tumors, leading to significant diagnostic and management challenges.
