Abstract:
Leiomyoma is one of the most common uterine lesions affecting approximately 30 % of women older than 35 years. Clinical presentation ranges from being asymptomatic to causing abnormal uterine bleeding. These benign tumors originate from smooth muscle cells arising from any part of the genitourinary tract, which includes the vulva, ovaries, urethra, scrotal sacs, and urinary bladder. Some extra genitourinary sites include the esophagus which may pose a diagnostic challenge. The most commonly used modalities for the diagnosis of extra-uterine leiomyoma are USG, CT, and MR. Because of its excellent soft tissue resolution, MR is considered an Investigation of choice - particularly valuable for characterizing these tumors, which show low signal intensity on T2 and intermediate signal on T1 (smooth muscle on T2-weighted images). The radiologist's recognition of this and other characteristic features may help steer the clinician toward timely, appropriate management and away from unnecessary interventions.
