title: [Glycosaminoglycans in uterine leiomyoma].
abstract: During development of leiomyoma, a reorganisation of main components of connective tissue has been found. All types of glycosaminoglycans are present in this tissue. Among them the heparan sulphate is the most abundant. Its content was found to increase with uterine myoma weight. It is worthy of note that the increase of keratan sulphate is observed in big leiomyoma.
