myomas

This is a picture of a huge myoma being removed surgically. This one took several years to reach this size. It is amazing how many women in the Philippines wait until their illnesses get worse before they go to a hospital for check-up and management. .



The picture above shows a huge myoma in Dr. C's patient. The myoma is even bigger than a full term baby.


In the picture below the hand of the surgeon, Dr. V, is in the scene to give us an idea of how big the myoma is. This is from another patient, by the way.




Dr. V inspects the myoma. Any "unusual" findings?





None. (Good!)
