Abstract: (1443 Views)
Broad ligament myomas are rare benign tumors arising from the smooth muscle cells of the broad ligament in the female reproductive system. Although it is less prevalent than uterine fibroids, broad ligament myomas present unique diagnostic and management challenges due to their anatomical location and potential for varied clinical manifestations. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of broad ligament myomas, including their etiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities, and current treatment options. We aim to contribute to the existing knowledge base and guide clinicians in effectively managing this condition by highlighting the distinctive characteristics of broad ligament myomas and discussing their impact on patient outcomes.
