Classification of causative factors and their value in parasitic myomas development after myomectomy. a Leiomyoma cells and tissue fragments can be spilled in the abdominal cavity during enucleation of fibroids from their pseudocapsule with parasitic leiomyoma implantation in the wound scar tissue after open myomectomy. b Morcellation is an additional and more powerful factor of spilling and dissemination of leiomyoma cells and tissue fragments into the abdominal cavity with typical location of parasitic leiomyoma in port-sites
