Genital leiomyomas (also known as "Dartoic leiomyomas") are leiomyomas that originate in the dartos muscles of the genitalia, areola, and nipple.[1]

Types of genital leiomyomas

Uterine Leiomyomas

Uterine Leiomyomas are benign tumors that occur in 70% of European people with uterus and more than 80% African descent people with uterus by the time they turn 50 years of age. Although, only 30% of people with uterus experience symptoms.[2] Of those with uterine leiomyomas, 29% result in hospitalizations.[3] These fibroids are derived from a mutation of a single mesenchymal cell with the involvement of progesterone and 17 b-Estrodiol. Symptoms are dependent on the location of the tumor and may occur in the submucosal, intramural, or subserosal areas. These tumors are mainly treated by performing hysterectomies and account for approximately 40-60% of all performed hysterectomies.[3][4]

One-third of patients with these fibroids experience life-threating anemia.[5]

Signs and symptoms

People with leiomyoma can be presented as asymptomatic. However, some people may experience severe symptoms that can interfere with daily activities. Common symptoms are recurrent pain and pressure in the affected region. [6] People with uterine leiomyoma can experience pain during urination, bowel movements, and sexual intercourse. Other symptoms are abnormal vaginal bleeding and severe menstrual cramps. [7]

Causes

Uterine Leiomyomas

Genetics

Development and progression of uterine leiomyomas may be contributed by changes in gene regulation or mutation of genes found to be associated with uterine fibroids. Abnormalities of these genes may initiate the formation or growth of these tumors.[8]

Treatment

Treatment for genital leiomyomas primarily consist of surgeries [9][10].

For uterine meiolyomas, complete removal of the uterus is required [11]. There is minimal evidence to support the use of myomectomy to preserve fertility [12]. Evidence shows that preoperative use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist can reduce surgical complications [13].

Subareolar meiolyomas require surgical removals [14].
