INTRODUCTION
Uterine myoma is the most common tumors of female genitalia tract. Myoma is a condition where there is a benign growth or tumor of smooth muscle in the wall of the uterus. The said growth is made up of fibrous tissue; hence it is often called a fibroid tumor. Uterine fibroids can be present and be in apparent. Fibroids vary in size and number, and are most often slow-growing and usually cause no symptoms. It may grow as a single nodule or in clusters, and may range in size from 1 mm to more than 20 cm in diameter. Myomas are the most frequently diagnosed tumor of the female pelvis, and the most common reason for hysterectomy. Although they are often referred to as tumors, they are not cancerous. Most myomas develop in women during their reproductive years. Myomas do not develop before the body begins producing estrogens. Myomas tend to grow very quickly during pregnancy when the body is producing extra estrogen. Once menopause has begun, the myoma generally stops growing and may begin to shrink due to the loss of estrogen. Fibroids may be removed if they cause discomforts or if they are associated with uterine bleeding. Hysterectomy has been common therapy in patients who have completed reproduction. . Total abdominal Hysterectomy - this procedure removes the uterus, cervix, one ovary and one fallopian tube, while one ovary and one fallopian tube are left
