RESUMO
A 48 year old African American woman presented with bladder pressure leading to the diagnosis of broad ligament and multiple uterine leiomyomas. She was also found to have a lateral vaginal wall mass which was confirmed to be a leiomyoma. Unlike uterine leiomyomas, vaginal leiomyomas are uncommon and are most often found in Caucasian women. Cases of such coexisting tumors are rare and their etiologic relationship is uncertain.

We administered yohimbine (0.5 nmol in 0.2 microliter) directly into the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) of urethane-anesthetized normotensive male rats. We noted a prompt rise in blood pressure which lasted 30 min. These data suggest that the NTS is a central site in which the hypertensive effects of yohimbine can originate.
