Fig. 4

TTC-stained hysterectomy specimen from a subject in the subacute group with two ablated intramural fibroids in the same uterus. The pink tissue represents viable, non-ablated tissue, whereas the white region indicates the ablation. The fibroid on the left is a 2.8 × 2.5 × 2.1-cm intramural leiomyoma in which 100% of the fibroid volume has been ablated. The fibroid on the right is a 4.1 × 3.7 × 3.8-cm intramural fibroid; 90% of the fibroid's volume was ablated. There is black ink on the anterior surface applied by the pathologist, seen here below the peritoneal reflection, indicating the anterior surface of the uterus to maintain the orientation during subsequent pathological analysis
