Leiomyoma Of The Uterus

INTRODUCTION: Giant uterine leimyofibromas delivered through the uterine cervix are rare. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We report 3 observations in order to describe our diagnostic and therapeutic approach. RESULTS: Three patients aged 40, 49 and 41 years were seen for intense pelvic pain associated with metrorrhagia and a feeling of pelvic heaviness. The average delay of consultation was three years. They were all multiparous. The gynecological examination revealed a firm tissue mass with a smooth and regular surface of eight cm on average, occupying the vaginal cavity while respecting the vaginal walls. Speculum examination was not possible because of the size of the mass which was flush with the lower third of the vagina. Magnetic resonance imaging concluded to a myoma delivered through the cervix in all patients. A total hysterectomy was performed. Histology of the total hysterectomy specimen concluded a uterine leiomyoma of the uterus. CONCLUSION: These giant uterine leiomyomas are rare. Magnetic resonance imaging describes them well. The treatment is most often a total hysterectomy in women who do not wish to have pregnant.

Muscle Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Accessory soleus muscle is an uncommon anatomical variant that may present as a soft-tissue mass in the posteromedial region of the ankle. It is congenital in origin but usually presents in the second or third decade of life. Although it is a rare entity, accessory soleus muscle should be included in the differential diagnosis of soft-tissue swelling of the ankle. Awareness of the clinical presentation and specific findings of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and electromyography help with diagnosis without surgical exploration. We describe a 30-year-old patient with accessory soleus muscle. Magnetic resonance imaging features of the case are described, and the literature is briefly reviewed.

Imaging evaluation of uterine masses is important to assess the type of lesion and to target surgery, if surgical excision is necessary. This can be decisive in fertile women with benign masses resembling malignancies, in order to avoid overtreatment. In this study, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma of the uterus, a rare benign variant of leiomyoma mimicking malignancy, is presented.

Primary muscle hydatidosis is very rare. Rupture and spreading of the cyst contents by improper handling may later cause secondary cyst or allergic reactions. Pre-operative recognition of a hydatid cyst is therefore critical. It often presents as a soft-tissue mass, however, and pre-operative recognition of this rare entity is clearly difficult. Here, a case of primary hydatidosis affecting the gracilis muscle is presented, and the magnetic resonance imaging, clinical and pathological findings are described.

Tissue Mass

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the ability to discriminate between various soft tissues in vivo. Whole body, specific organ, total adipose tissue (TAT), intra-abdominal adipose tissue (IAAT), and skeletal muscle (SM) weights determined by MRI were compared with weights determined by dissection and chemical analysis in two studies with male Sprague-Dawley rats. A 4.2-T MRI machine acquired high-resolution, in vivo, longitudinal whole body images of rats as they developed obesity or aged. Weights of the whole body and specific tissues were determined using computer image analysis software, including semiautomatic segmentation algorithms for volume calculations. High correlations were found for body weight ( r = 0.98), TAT ( r = 0.99), and IAAT ( r = 0.98) between MRI and dissection and chemical analyses. MRI estimated the weight of the brain, kidneys, and spleen with high accuracy ( r > 0.9), but overestimated IAAT, SM, and liver volumes. No differences were detected in organ weights using MRI and dissection measurements. Longitudinal MRI measurements made during the development of obesity and aging accurately represented changes in organ and tissue mass.

AbstractRetroperitoneal presacral schwannomas are uncommon and are usually diagnosed accidentally. We present here the case of a 23-year-old woman diagnosed with an expansive pelvic lesion during a routine gynecological examination. The precise location of the tumor, as well as its relation to adjacent structures, was determined through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patient underwent laparoscopic lesion resection and the diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. An MRI performed 2 months after surgery confirmed complete lesion resection.
