More on failed pr...
Below is Part II of our series of articles on Uterine Fibroids. Another extremely important issue is that true fibroids have NO malignant potential. Years and years ago they thought that a very small number (less than 1%) could undergo malignant transformation. This does not occur. There are rare malignant tumors of uterine muscle known as sarcomas. These are almost always solitary rather than multiple and, when examined with color flow Doppler ultrasound technology looking at blood flow, will...
