New Inflammation Markers for Distinguishing Uterine Adenomyosis and Leiomyoma

Both pelvic masses and preoperative diagnosis of them have still continued as an important investigation subject. It is important to discriminate the diagnoses of leiomyoma and adenomyosis before operation especially among infertile patients. Neoplasms can alter systemic or local immune response in their originating area.Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) can be readily determined by using of complete blood counter test (CBC). A high NLR has been shown in systemic inflammation, some gynecologic and gastrointestinal cancers and some cardiovascular diseases. The investigators aim to investigate using new inflammation markers, NLR and PLR, whether they are useful to discriminate between adenomyosis and leiomyoma. As far as is known, there have been no previous reports about the association among NLR, PLR, adenomyosis and leiomyoma.
