Abstract

ABSTRACT Leiomyomas are benign neoplasms that affect the uterine smooth muscle. They result from a complex interplay of hormones, growth factors, cytokines and the presence of a genetic factor, which is believed to be an important factor for its appearance. These tumors most often affect women in reproductive age. Because of this fact, the appearance of leiomyomas in women during the perimenopause is a rare occurrence, exemplified by the paucity of reports in the medical literature and thus, this is a case report of an “expulsed myoma during perimenopause”.
