34. Gross. Contribution à l’étude des fibromyomes du ligament large (Sixième Congrès de Français de Chirurgie. Semaine Medicale № 19). To scholarship on fibromyomas of the broad ligament

Dense tumors of the broad ligament are extremely rare and poorly understood. Virchow was the first to point out the possibility of direct development of fibroids from the tissues of the broad ligament. Schetelig, Langenbeck, Gayet, Billroth, Schroeder, Tedenert, et al. Observed intraligamentary fibroids without a connection to the uterus. Fibromyomas on the stem are much more demonstrative, but they come across even more often; so far only 5 cases have been published: Mikulicz, Sänger, Borker, Biflinger and Doran. The author removed the pedicle fibromyoma with a total of 2500 grams from the right wide uterine ligament. In terms of origin, the author agrees with Sänger, considering the broad ligament muscle fibers to be such. Diagnostics is very difficult to put and only in Breisky's case it was put correctly, while other authors confused with ovarian tumor. These tumors are removed if they are equipped with a leg - like ovarian, if there is one, then it should be seen as subperitoneal tumors of the uterus.
