The human uterine vasculature is highly structured, exhibiting circumferential and radial branching. Previously published angiograms of the arterial network describe a system of regular coils. Uterine fibroids lack this structured vasculature. In this study, we make a comparison between the vasculature in normal myometrium and in fibroids using robust stereological methods thus far lacking in the literature.
