title: [Pathology associated with uterine leiomyoma: review of 600 cases].
abstract: The authors analyzed 600 patients with uterine leiomyoma examined at the Escola Paulista de Medicina and submitted to surgical treatment between 1976 and 1987. The uteri were carefully studied and leiomyomas were confirmed. Other diseases were also found in 71.17% of the cases. Uteri from hysterectomies performed for conditions other than leiomyoma were also studied for control purposes. Major conditions found were chronic cervicitis; adenomyosis; follicular cysts; tubal changes (congestion, edema, and salpingitis); uterine polyps; endometrial hyperplasia; endometriosis; ovarian and endometrial neoplasias.
