Uterine leiomyomata: etiology, symptomatology, and management
TLDR
No studies have yet demonstrated that women on oral pills are at increased risk for growth of these tumors, and low-dose contraceptives should not be contraindicated in patients with leiomyomata if they desire to use this form of contraceptive.About:

TL;DR: Although uterine myomas presently are not well understood, many advances have been made in the understanding of the hormonal factors, genetic factors, growth factors, and molecular biology of these benign tumors.

Estradiol and progesterone binding in uterine leiomyomata and in normal uterine tissues.
E A Wilson,F Yang,E D Rees +2 more
TL;DR: The presence of cytoplasmic receptor proteins in myomatous tissues explains the sensitivity of the leiomyoma to endogenous or exogenous steroids and may provide information useful in the clinical management of this neoplastic disorder.

Unicellular histogenesis of uterine leiomyomas as determined by electrophoresis of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
TL;DR: Previous studies by Linder and Gartler, suggesting a unicellular origin for leiomyomas, are confirmed and extended, and when only a few tumors were present they tended to be of the same G-6-PD type.

Endometrial changes associated with myomata of the uterus.
L. Deligdish,M. Loewenthal +1 more
TL;DR: The endometrium of 30 uteruses with myomata was studied and glands at the margin of a myoma hyperplastic glands were frequently found, and distorted, elongated, or dilated glands were present at this site in half of all specimens.

The contractile response of the human uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovary to prostaglandins in vivo.
TL;DR: The ability of PGE2 to induce relaxation of the tubes while stimulating uterine activity provides a clue as to why it is more effective in inducing abortion than PGF2alpha.
