DOI: 10.1002/gcc.22888
Abstract: Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign tumor of the female genital tract. Previous studies have shown that conventional leiomyomas often harbor‐specific alterations including rearrangements involving HMGA2. Cellular leiomyomas are a variant of uterine leiomyoma… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2019.05.018
Abstract: BACKGROUND Although uterine leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas are considered biologically-unrelated tumors, they share morphological and histological characteristics that complicate their differential diagnosis. The long-term therapeutic option for leiomyoma is laparoscopic myomectomy with morcellation, particularly for patients… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/bjc.2017.361
Abstract: Background:Uterine leiomyomas can be classified into molecularly distinct subtypes according to their genetic triggers: MED12 mutations, HMGA2 upregulation, or inactivation of FH. The aim of this study was to identify metabolites and metabolic pathways that… read more here.
