摘要

The present study was planned to review the pathophysiology of uterine myomas and emphasize the principles of logical management on the basis of literature review and synthesis of the author's experience. The growth of uterine myomas, the most common solid pelvic tumors in women, is related to genetic predisposition, hormonal influences and growth factors. The treatment options include pharmacologic, surgical and radiographic interventions. Most asymptomatic myomas can be followed serially for progressive growth or development of symptoms. The various diagnostic and therapeutic advancements available today permit higher management flexibility with safe options, which must be tailored to the individual patients requirement.
