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 show a vascularity pattern very different from a typical fibroid.
The typical fibroid has a circumferential pattern of blood flow with very little vascularity centrally located. Some benign fibroids can have vascularity if they are extremely cellular and still be benign.
If you have fibroids or symptoms of fibroids and would like a thorough examination or second opinion, then Dr Steven R. Goldstein, a leading obgyn in Manhattan, can examine you with transvaginal ultrasounds with color flow doppler to assess your condition, discuss the diagnosis and possible treatment methods or procedures if necessary.
