Various forms of degenerations may occur in fibroids but cystic and myxoid degenerations are not common. We reported two case series of cystic degenerations in pregnant and nonpregnant conditions. A myomectomy on pregnant uterus and total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoophorectomy was respectively performed successfully. There was diagnostic dilemma in both cases prior to surgical intervention as available imaging investigations made diagnosis of ovarian cystic mass. Magnetic resonant imaging was not available but evidence suggests preoperative use may resolve the diagnostic dilemma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
