 The most common non-cancerous tumours in women .
 The most common indication for hysterectomy.
 Apparent in up to 25% of women.
 More common in a higher body mass index women.
 3 times more common in black American women than white
women.
 Asian women have a lower incidence .
 Symptoms appear at age of 30s or 40s .
 The incidence increases with age up to the menopause.
 Women over the age of 30 are commonly affected by fibroid
uterine.
 50% of all women are affected by fibroid uterine.
 Most common solid pelvic tumors.
 Develop in 20 ~ 25% of women during reproductive years.
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the
uterus that often appear during childbearing years.
A benign tumors of the smooth muscle cells of the
uterus
Uterine fibroid is a leiomyoma (benign (non-
cancerous) tumor from smooth muscle tissue) that
originates from the smooth muscle layer (myometrium) of
the uterus
They can grow as a single tumor or as a cluster.

Fibroids
GROSS APPEARANCE
Rare only a single , usually many exist
Well-circumscribed , nonencapsulated
A pseudocapsule is present.
The consistency is usually firm or even hard except when
degeneration or hemorrhage has occurred.
color : light gray or pinkish white
cut section : an intertwining pattern or
a whorl-like arrangement ;
bulgy
Smooth muscle tumors of the uterus are often
multiple. Seen here are submucosal, intramural,
.and subserosal leiomyomata of the uterus
Microscopic Appearance

Composition : smooth muscle


connective tissue

The nonstriated muscle fibers are arranged in bundles


of various sizes that run in multiple directions.
Exact etiology is unclear
Hormonally responsive to estrogen; grow
during pregnancy and regress with
menopause
May outgrow blood supply and degenerate
causing pain
According to growth location :

 Myomas on the body of uterus ( 90% )


 Myomas on the cervix of uterus ( 10% )

According to position
 70 % Intramural
(in uterine wall)

 20% Subserosal
(beneath serosa)

 10 % Submucosal
( beneath endometrium )
pedunculated submucosal or
pedunculated vaginal
Cellular leiomyoma (composed of densely cellular fascicles of smooth
muscle with little intervening collagene).
Atypical leiomyoma (containing atypical cells, clustered or distributed
through the lesion).
Epithelioid leiomyoma (composed of round or poligonal cells rather than
spindle-shaped. This subtype includes leiomyoblastoma, clear cell leiomyoma,
plexyform leiomyoma).
Myxoid leiomyoma (containing abundant amorphous myxoid substance
between the smooth muscle cells).
Vascular leiomyoma (containing dense proliferations of large, caliber, thick-
walled vessels).
Lipoleiomyoma (consisting of a mixture of mature adipocytes and smooth
muscle cells).
Leiomyoma with tubules (containing tubular structures).
Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (occurrence of multiple smooth-
muscle nodules, most often located in the lung after previous hysterectomy).
SECONDARY CHANGES IN FIBROID
Degenerative changes
Hyaline degeneration:
Cystic degeneration:
Calcification:
Fatty degeneration:
Red degeneration: with fever, pain
and vomiting
Septic degeneration:
Infection
Atropy
Necrosis
Vascular changes
Sarcomatous changes
Heredity.
Race. 
Pregnancy and childbirth. 
Nulliparity Obesity
Oral contraceptives. 
unknown.
Family history
Genetic alterations. 
Hormones. 
Other growth factors: 
such as insulin-like growth factor, may affect
fibroid growth.
• Half of women with fibroids have no
symptoms
• symptoms depends on their size, position
and condition

menorrhagia and prolonged menstrual period : common


Pelvic pain :
occurs in pregnancy if undergoing degeneration or torsion of
a pedunculated myoma
Pelvic pressure : urinary frequency
bowel difficulty ( constipation )
Spontaneous abortion
Infertility
Others :

(Constipation, Backache or leg pains…etc)


 Hypermenorrhea (submucosal are more likely) .
 Persistent intermenstrual bleeding (cause by pedunculated
submucosal fibroid)
 Dyspareunia (cause by torsion of a pedunculated fibroid)
 abdominal cramps, discomfort, and heaviness( cause by large
uterus)
 Constipation and urinary frequency (cause by pressure)
 Recurrent miscarriage or infertility
 Recurrent miscarriage
 Fetal malpresentation
 Red degeneration: presents with
fever, pain and vomiting
 Intrauterine growth retardation
 Premature labour
 Postpartum haemorrhage
 A c-section may be needed
Menorrhagia.
Abdominal pains 
Infertility 
Leiomyosarcoma 
Twisting of the fibroid
Anemia
Urinary tract infections
 Vital signs
 Heart rate .
 Blood pressure.
Physical examination  Breathing.
 Temperature.
• Abdominal examination  BMI.

• Feel is firm more towards hard may be  O2 saturation

cystic in cystic degeneration.


• Margins are well defined except the lower
pole.
• nodular may be uniformly enlarged
• Mobility is restricted from above
downwards but can be moved from side to
side.
• Percussion : swelling is dull
Pelvic examination
Bimanual examination reveals
uterus irregularly enlarged
Uterus is not felt separated
from the swelling and as such
. groove is not felt between the
uterus and the mass.
The cervix moves with the
movement of the tumour felt
per abdomen.
Laboratory Tests
Blood test (CBC) .
-Rbc, Iron, Erthropoietin, Hematocrit,Wbc …. etc
Hormonal test

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease
Tubo-ovarian abscess
Ovarian tumour
Uterine sarcoma
Endometrial polyps, endometrial carcinoma
Endometriosis
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding
Other causes of a pelvic mass include tumour of large
bowel, appendix abscess, diverticular abscess
Pregnancy
MEDICATIONS
 NSAID.
SURGERY  Antifibrinolytic agents.
 Combined oral
Myomectomy contraceptive.
Hysterectomy  Danazol.
 GnRH agonists.
Beware of side effects including amenorrhoea,
menopausal symptoms and osteoporosis in long
term use.
Hysterectomy
healthy lifestyle
 Exercise regularly.
 Manage your weight. 
 Drink green tea or use green tea extract.
 Consider changing your diet.
 Understand that pregnancy and childbirth may
have protective effects against developing uterine
fibroids.
