Abstract

Uterine leiomyomas are highly common. Their incidence is generally cited as 20-25%, but has been  shown to be as high as 70-80% in studies using histologic or sonographic examination. Distant metastasis is extremely rare and is of unknown etiology. It primarily affects women of reproductive age and  might appear years after gynecological procedures such as myomectomy or hysterectomy.
