Objective: The patients with a postoperative pathologic diagnosis of uterine leiomyoma were evaluated in terms of surgical procedure, fibroid features and accompanying pathologies. We also wanted to reveal the relationship of inflammatory markers with the number, size and localization of fibroids.
Material and Methods: The data of 102 patients with a postoperative pathologic diagnosis of uterine leiomyoma were assessed retrospectively. Age, gravida, parity, preoperative and postoperative hemogram results of patients were obtained from the patients’ files. Fibroid size, number, location and other gyneco-pathologies accompanying myoma were obtained from the pathology reports.
Results: When the fibroid localization was examined, it was determined that 44.1%of the fibroids showed intramural location, and at least 2 fibroids were detected 61%of the patients. Retrospective review of the surgical procedures performed showed that total abdominal hysterectomy was performed in 46%of the patients. For the relationship between inflammatory parameters and fibroid size; neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and lymphocyte/monocyte ratio values were found to be statistically different (p= 0.023; 0.038 respectively), however, platelet/lymphocyte ratio values were statistically insignificant (p˃0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin values of the cases examined in terms of both fibroid size and number (p˃0.05).
Conclusion: While a decrease in lymphocyte/monocyte ratio is observed with increased number of fibroids, there is an increase in neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and a decrease in lymphocyte/monocyte ratio with an increase in myoma size.
