“…Metastatic peritoneal seeding is another hypothesis, but subperitoneal localization of the nodules makes it less likely [ 4 ]. Furthermore, there have been reported cases that are related to endometriosis and prior morcellation of leiomyoma, but more studies are yet to prove it [ 5 , 6 ].…”

“…2 However, its use has now raised concerns, including parasitic myoma, which can adversely affect a woman's health for a long time. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Parasitic myoma is a rare form of late complication after power morcellation, with a reported prevalence of 0.4% 8 and 1.2% 9 in large case series. However, because it may occur years after power morcellation, it seems reasonable to speculate that a significant number of cases have remained undiagnosed because the patient was lost to follow-up, was asymptomatic, or was receiving treatment elsewhere.…”

“…Since the introduction of electromechanical tissue morcellator, many studies have reported the occurrence of parasitic myomas after morcellation. This is a rare late sequela of laparoscopic morcellation procedures[ 7 ]. The prevalence of parasitic leiomyomas is estimated to be 0.07% after laparoscopically removing the uterine leiomyoma[ 8 ].…”
