Lint: broad-ligament-leiomyoma

Prefix Hyphens
warning

"Broad ligament leiomyomas are extra-uterine leiomyomas that occur in relation to the broad ligament."

Line 7:10 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'extra-uterine'.
List Caps
warning

"Brenner tumour: tend to be inseparable from the ovary"

Line 35:11 · In general, we don't start a list item with a capital letter. Exceptions are proper nouns.
Commas
suggestion

"While in most cases, broad ligament leiomyomas are asymptomatic, patients may present with pelvic pain or a palpable pelvic mass. The pain, when long-standing, may be a result of pressure effects on adjacent organs, such as the bladder or ureter, or, when acute, due to a complicating torsion."

Line 5:149 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.
There Is
suggestion

"Usually seen as a hypoechoic, solid, well-circumscribed adnexal mass, although that can be heterogeneous when large. There is generally no interface between the tumour and uterus and no straight relation to the ipsilateral ovary."

Line 11:121 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.
