The hysteroscopic management of endometrial leiomyomatosis.

Uterine myomata are frequently the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. They may be removed successfully by hysteroscopy. As a rule, the myomata are single, although on occasion several pedunculated myomas may be present. Three women were diagnosed with extremely large numbers of submucous leiomyomata. Many of the lesions were removed by hysteroscopic resection and many were destroyed with the neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser.
