Abstract
Uterine leiomyomas represent the most common benign tumours encountered in women, originating from myometrium smooth muscle cells. These tumours are estrogen dependent and grow during the reproductive period with incidence of approximately 70% in the general population [1]. Approximately 20-40% of women with fibroids experience significant symptoms and consult gynecologic care. However, their true prevalence is probably under-estimated [2].
