How do you know a uteran fibroid is benign?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leiomyosarcoma: 1 per 1, 000 fibroids (leiomyoma) are malignant (which is called leiomyosarcoma). Growth of a fibroid after menopause may be a sign of malignancy. The only way to know if the fibroid is malignant is to do a biopsy.
