Objectives:
The venous system of endometrium of myomatous uteri was examined.
Material And Methods:
The studies were carried out on 20 uteri obtained from autopsies. Corrosion casts were studied using scanning electron microscopy.
Results:
The specimens revealed a chaotic network of tortuous and distended veins, venules and venous capillaries. The so-called venous lakes were observable in the whole length of the functional layer of the endometrium.
Conclusions:
Veins of the endometrium do not go in a company with arteries. No arterio-venous anastomoses were found.
