Fibroids of the uterus with intravascular growth

As you know, in the controversial issue of the histogenesis of uterine fibroids, the so-called. vascular theory occupies a fairly prominent place. I am among my defenders of such prominent representatives of natka as Borst, Orth, Lubagsch, Gottschalk, etc. Despite the high probability of such a histogenesis of uterine myomas, it should be noted that the growth of tumors into the lumen of the vessels is extremely rare, and only a few cases of this kind are described in the literature. Various authors, describing tumors spreading in their growth along the preexisting cavities, give them different names myoma plexiforme, Venenmyom, and R. Meyer suggests calling them myoma intravasculare.
