Remark to the authors  
1. You should show the image of pre -surgical MRI images.  
2. Figure 1 and Figure 2 are opposite.  
3. Laparoscopic image figure was difficult to recognize. Please make it easy to understand.  
4. Did you examine tumor markers?  
5. Authors stated that diagnosis of extra -uterine fibroids is often difficult. I cannot 
understand this description because you can easily reach and biopsy the tumor.  
6. Authors stated that this  will give an approximate error of about 2.8 to 7 radiological 
examination per day. Please re -word the sentence as it is difficult to follow. Did you mean a 
misdiagnosis in diagnostic radiology occur several times per day?
