Minilaparotomy Hysterectomy as a Suitable Choice of Hysterectomy for Large Myoma Uteri: Literature Review

Figure 4

Macroscopic and microscopic finding of resected uterus. The weight of intramural myoma nodule resected from the corpus was 2,460 g (a), and the nodule resected from the uterus was 460 g ((b) arrow), and that resected from the subserosal myoma nodule was 1,580 g ((b) arrow head); thus, the total weight of the resected myoma uteri was 4,500 g. Microscopic findings of myoma nodule show hyaline degeneration (c), mucinous degeneration (d), and lipoleiomyoma (e).
