Three cases of laparoscopic operation with transcervical uterine myometrial biopsy for excluding a uterine malignant tumor

Abstract

  To diagnose uterine myoma accurately, clinicians must often rule out malignant uterine tumors. However, this can be difficult to do preoperatively, as uterine sarcomas are commonly diagnosed through histopathological examination of surgical specimens. Here, we report three cases of preoperative transcervical uterine myometrial biopsy performed to exclude uterine malignancies. The preoperative biopsies and postoperative histopathological specimen examinations led to the same diagnosis. The results indicate that preoperative transcervical uterine myometrial biopsy is useful in the preoperative diagnosis of uterine myoma.
