Abstract:
Objective To assess the clinical value of ultrasound-guided percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) in the treatment of hysteromyoma. Methods Fifty patients with hysteromyoma confirmed by pathology were enrolled in this study. Dose of ethanol was identified through tumor size. Ultrasound angiography and biopsy were performed after operation to observe the therapeutic effect of PEI. Results All tumors were treated with PEI 1-4 times. Echo enhancement, disappearance of blood in tumor, tumor atrophy and cavity-like change were observed. Post-operative biopsy indicated necrosis of tumor cells. Conclusion Ultrasound-guided PEI is safe and effective in the treatment of hysteromyoma.
