Abstract
Background: Uterine broids, also known as Leiomyoma, are the most common benign neoplasm in the female genital
tract and originate from the myometrium ́s smooth muscle. The cause of the broids is unknown, but however, it is
estimated to be caused by estrogens and progestrones which proliferate tumor growth. Fibroids are seen to rarely occur before menarche and
reduce after menopause. This study was carried out to know the age prevalence of uterine broids in a tertiary care hospital of Nagpur
Methods: Clinical les and histopathology reports of all patients that operated for symptomatic uterine broids or leiomyomas between 2017 to
2021 were obtained from gynaecology department and histopathology department. A total 165 cases were studied.
Results: Clinical les and histopathology reports of Orange city hospital Nagpur showed that total 165 patients operated for symptomatic uterine
broids or leimyomas between 2017 to2021. From data it was evident that maximum incidence (69%) was in the 40-50 age group.
Conclusions: The age prevalence of broids or uterine leiomyomas was maximum in the age group of 40-50 and very less in below 30 and above
60 age groups. These ndings were also documented in other studies.
