The leukocyte migration inhibition test was performed on 56 patients hysterectomized on account of myoma. Despite low antigenicity of autologous myoma tissue significant differences in inhibitions of migration were observed depending on the extent of surgical radicality in the adnexal region. Non-inhibition of leukozyte migration in patients whose myomatous uterus alone was exstirpated is explained by the oestrogens produced in the remaining ovaries.
