Abstract

Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are the most common solid pelvic tumor in women. They are found clinically in approximately 25% of women, and pathological serial sectioning shows that their prevalence is even higher.1 Fibroids represent the most common indication for hysterectomy for benign disease in the United States.2,3
