Aim:
he main goal of this study was assessment of vascular structure of cervical uterine leiomyomata.
Materials And Methods:
The study was carried out on ten human uteri collected upon autopsy. Vessels were injected with synthetic resin, next corroded and coated with gold, finally observed using scanning electron microscope.
Results:
Most of cervical fibroids were observed in the middle third of the wall of cervix. They were surrounded by relatively dense 'vascular capsule'. consisted of flattened vein, arterioles and capillaries.
Conclusions:
Structure of cervical uterine leiomyomata was similar to those observed in initial stage of growth of myometrial fibroids.
