Abstract :

Uterine leiomyoma is the most common benign tumor in females. It is steroid dependent tumor which causes significant endometrial changes. AIM: To study about the leiomyoma and its endometrial pattern which helps to diagnose it on endometrial curetting, to evaluate the relationship between them and correlate their etiological factor. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 100 hysterectomy specimens with leiomyoma were studied. The endometrial tissue bit was processed and evaluated for pattern and endometrial gland changes. Parameters were analyzed and results were studied by descriptive statistical analysis. RESULTS: Leiomyoma commonly occurred in the age of 41–50 yrs. Solitary leiomyoma and intramural fioid was a common presentation. Proliferative pattern and hyperplastic endometrium were the common manifestations. Endometrial gland changes such as dilated glands, glands parallel to myometrium, thinning of endometrium were seen. CONCLUSION: Both hormonal and mechanical effect was responsible for endometrial changes in leiomyoma.
