ABSTRACT

Leiomyomata uteri is the most frecuent pelvic tumor in women, nevertheless it seems is forgotten from Endocrinology. It is not always symptomatic, but the actual tendency toward delay pregnancy make obvious the association between leiomyomata uteri, infertility and obstetric complications. Hormonal treatment with agonists and antagonists of LH-RH is the best option when parity is not complete. The objective of this work is to review etiological factors and therapeutic modalities.
