Abstract
Objectives:
To report three cases of uterine myoma as cause of pelvic calcification and to establish differential diagnosis with bladder stones.
Methods/Results:
Three asymptomatic female patients, ages between 54 years (one patient) and more than 70 years (two patients), were fortuitously found to have calcified uterine myomas by radiological studies made for suspicion of other pathologies.
Conclusions:
Discovering of calcified uterine myomas is not frequent. Diagnosis is made by radiological studies in postmenopausal female patients. The significance from the urological point of view is to do differential diagnosis with bladder stones.
