Myomectomy: Recurrence after Removal of Solitary and Multiple Myomas

LAWRENCE J. MALONE, MD, FACOG

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Harvard Medical School, and the Vincent Memorial Hospital, Gynecological Service of the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston

Abstract

About one-third of 125 women subjected to myomectomy had a solitary tumor; only 11% of this group subsequently required hysterectomy because of recurrent tumor. The remaining two-thirds underwent multiple-type myomectomy; of these, 26% were later reoperated upon because of leiomyomas. Solitary-type myomectomy offers more favorable prognosis regarding recurrence of tumor.
