Two cases of symmetrical uterine enlargement, with widespread involvement of the myometrium by innumerable leiomyomata, mainly of small and microscopic size, are reported. This unusual leiomyomatous enlargement of the uterus precludes myomectomy. A review of the literature revealed only 3 previous cases of this condition. The designation of diffuse leiomyomatosis of the uterus is proposed. The pathogenesis and differential diagnosis are discussed.
报告了两例子宫对称性增大的病例，无数平滑肌瘤广泛累及子宫肌层，主要为小的和显微镜下可见的平滑肌瘤。这种子宫罕见的平滑肌瘤性增大使得肌瘤切除术无法进行。文献回顾仅发现此前有3例这种情况。建议将其命名为子宫弥漫性平滑肌瘤病。并对其发病机制和鉴别诊断进行了讨论。
