ABSTRACT
Extrauterine leiomyomas are rare, benign, and may arise in any anatomic sites. Their unusual growth pattern may even mimic malignancy and can result in a clinical dilemma. Occasionally, uterine leiomyomas become adherent to surrounding structures. They also develop an auxiliary blood supply, and lose their original attachment to the uterus, thus becoming 'parasitic'. Parasitic myomas may also be iatrogenically created after uterine fibroid surgery, particularly if morcellation is used. This report presented two cases of parasitic myomas with sepsis, both requiring right hemicolectomy. It reviewed the pertinent literature.
RESUMO
Leiomiomas extrauterinos são raros e benignos e podem surgir em qualquer local anatômico. O padrão de crescimento não-usual destas lesões pode até mesmo imitar malignidade e resultar em dilema clínico. Ocasionalmente, os leiomiomas uterinos aderem-se às estruturas circunvizinhas, desenvolvem suprimento sanguíneo auxiliar e perdem sua ligação original ao útero, tornando-se assim "parasíticos". Os miomas parasíticos podem também ser criados iatrogenicamente após cirurgia fibroide uterina, especialmente se for utilizada morcelação. Este relato apresentou dois casos de miomas parasíticos com sepse, ambos exigindo hemicolectomia à direita, bem como revisão da literatura pertinente.
