Abstract
Uterine myomas, also known as leiomyomas and uterine fibroids, are monoclonal tumors that develop from the myometrium's smooth muscle cells. The prevalence of myoma varies amongst specific research and countries from 4.5% to 68.6%. Uterine fibroids can also be related to reproductive problems, including decreased fertility, miscarriages and pregnancy loss, and negative obstetric results.
