More Than a Myoma: A Review of Myomatous Erythrocytosis Syndrome.

In conclusion, patients with MES present with signs and symptoms attributed to either an abdominopelvic mass or erythrocytosis. Preoperative phlebotomy to decrease the severity of erythrocytosis has been used to mitigate the risk of thrombotic complications. Surgical resection of the offending leiomyoma is a valid approach for the treatment of MES. PMID: 30904341 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
