Michael Jackson once kept Bubbles as a pet. Michael Jackson has been accused of beating up his chimp Bubbles. The late singer's pet was reportedly being beaten while in his car, and a leading chimpanzee expert insisted she tried to intervene when she'd heard about the way he was being treated.
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. Also called leiomyomas (lie-o-my-O-muhs) or myomas, uterine fibroids aren't associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never develop into cancer. Fibroids range in size from seedlings, undetectable by the human eye, to bulky masses that can distort and enlarge the uterus.
1 Laparoscopic myomectomy is a technique used to remove fibroids that are intramural (deep in the muscle of the uterine wall), subserosal or pedunculated (on the outside of the uterus). 2  This minimally invasive technique uses a laparoscopic technique to remove the fibroids through very small incisions. Submucosal fibroids: These fibroids are located just underneath the endometrium, or lining of the uterus, and protrude into the uterine cavity. 2  Submucosal fibroids can vary in how much of the fibroid protrudes into the uterine cavity and how much is in the muscle of the uterus.
