Benign lipomatous lesions of the uterus: 3 new cases, review of the literature and histogenetic considerations.

Abstract

Three new cases of benign lipomatous lesions of the uterus are described, with particular attention to the possible relation between symptomatology and the presence of mast cells in the neoformation. The literature is reviewed, a brief history is presented of important stages in the study of these forms, and a new histogenetic theory proposed based on a different concept from those accepted to date.
