Leiomyomatosis
Leiomyomatosis is a medical condition characterized by the presence of multiple benign tumors called leiomyomas, which are smooth muscle tumors. These tumors can occur in various parts of the body, including the uterus, skin, and gastrointestinal tract. While they are generally non-cancerous, they can cause symptoms depending on their size and location.
The exact cause of leiomyomatosis is not fully understood, but it may have a genetic component. Treatment options vary based on symptoms and tumor location, ranging from monitoring to surgical removal. Regular check-ups are important for managing the condition effectively.
