INTRAMURAL FIBROIDS IN UTERUS
Hello doctor, My mother is 60 years old. On march 28th, 2017 she went ultrasound pelvic scan and was reported as below:- Uterus: Anteverted, bulky in size with normal echo pattern measuring 94*58*77mm. Few intramural & subserosal fibroids noted, largest measuring 34mm.Endometrium not clearly visualised. Both ovaries are not visualised. No evidence of free fluid in peritoneal cavity, Aorta & IVC normal, No para-aortic lymphadenopathy. Impression: Grade I fatty liver. Bulky uterus with fibroids. Doctor, I am really worried for my mother, does fibroids include any malignant or benign tumors or cancerous cells? She has no pain in that area. For her 60 yrs age her size of uterus is correct as people say that ovaries and uterus generally will not be visible and gets shrinked? Please give me your feedback on this and strong suggestion what i need to do further. I am really worried . Please see the above findings and tell me is there any serious problem please. Thankyou.

Uterus size is on higher side for a postmenopausal woman due to fibriod. Fibroids are non cancerous growth of uterus, fibroids neither lead to cancer nor do they increase chances. But the average age of a woman who develops sarcoma( cancer) is 50s and 60s. In a postmenopausal female who is not on replacement hormonal therapy fibroid in the uterus may be a cause of concern. There are two significant symptoms which indicates the fibroid may be cancerous: rapid growth of the tumor or the uterus and uterine bleeding( postmenopausal bleeding). Gynaecological examination and further investigation are required. Consult a gynecologist.
