Abstract

Increasing trend of iatrogenic parasitic myomas has compelled us to review about preventive measures to tackle this menace. We are sharing our experience of two unique cases of parasitic myomas. Even though it is not completely preventable, strategic steps will definitely reduce the incidence and severity. With increased magnification and access to the entire abdominopelvic cavity, a laparoscopic view may be more beneficial for diagnosis of unknown or unsuspected masses as well as prevention.
