title: [Morphologic pattern of uterine myomas enucleated at cesarean section].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Myomectomy is the most common surgery performed at cesarean delivery. This report reviews a 10-year experience with surgical management of leiomyomata at cesarean section.
  
  
  METHODS
  [corrected] 101 women had myomectomies performed at cesarean delivery during the period studied. (0.89% of all cesarean sections). We reviewed the pathology on the all specimens.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In 90 cases only one myoma was enucleated, in other 11 two or more myomas were enucleated. 59 myomas were hypertrophic and 52 myomas were necrotic.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The most frequent secondary change reported was hypertrophy of the muscle fibers and necrosis.
