Abstract
Smooth muscle tumors (SMTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the uterus. The majority of the uterine SMTs are classified as benign or malignant
Uterine leiomyoma (fibroids) are the most common benign tumors of smooth muscle, originating from the myometrium. The prevalence of fibroids varies among different studies and countries (4.5%–68.6%) based on the type of investigation, method of diagnosis, and racial / ethnic demographics of the population studied.
Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is rare. However, it is the most common uterine sarcomas with a high risk of recurrence and death.
Uterine smooth muscle tumors of unknown malignant potential (STUMP) are neoplasms with pathological features.
In our study we used ultrasound as a diagnostic tool to distinguish between different pathological lesions before surgery and compare it to histopathology after excision of the lesion.
AIM OF THE WORK:
The aim of the current study was to evaluate the role of ultrasound in assessement of uterine smooth muscle tumors to distinguish between the different pathological entities in order to plan for proper management.
