Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in gynecology, and many women will accidentally discover fibroids during physical examination. Smaller fibroids generally do not cause clinical symptoms or interfere with normal life, and generally do not require treatment.
co strong>If fibroids are found to grow rapidly in a short period of time during regular follow-up, we must pay attention to it, the “fibroids” at this time may no longer be serious” Fibroids”.
Ms. Wang, 51 years old, 2 years ago During the physical examination, uterine fibroids were found, and many colleagues around me had uterine fibroids, so I felt that there was no problem. Two recent physical examinations at intervals found that the fibroids had increased by 2 cm. I felt something was wrong. After surgical treatment and pathological examination, it was found that the tumor that was originally thought to be uterine fibroids turned out to be “uterine sarcoma”, which is a malignant tumor. , and is highly malignant. Ms. Wang’s case reminds us that even benign fibroids require regular follow-up to avoid Danger occurs. At the same time, it also makes us question, can benign uterine fibroids become malignant?
Currently, there are several discussions about whether uterine fibroids will become malignant: /span>
First, the probability of uterine fibroids being cancerous is less than 1%;
the other Second, uterine fibroids will not become cancerous, that is to say, the cancer is not uterine fibroids, but “sarcoma” and other malignant tumors misdiagnosed as uterine fibroids. As for the final conclusion, further research is needed.
What are the typical differences between uterine fibroids and uterine sarcomas?
1. From the perspective of typical symptoms, postmenopausal uterine fibroids generally shrink to a certain extent with the decrease of hormone levels in the body. Uterine sarcomas generally continue to grow.
2. Uterine fibroids and uterine sarcomas are similar on imaging. If the possibility of uterine sarcoma is suspected, enhanced MRI can be performed. certain identification value.
In general, uterine sarcomas are relatively rare, and patients with uterine fibroids need not be overly concerned about this, and regular follow-up is beneficial for prevention.
