Fibroid: A common benign tumor of the uterus. Fibroids can be present without symptoms. However, in about 25 percent of women, fibroids cause symptoms such as prolonged or heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure or pain, and, in rare cases, reproductive dysfunction.
It is possible then to imagine a spectrum characterizing how âaliveâ a fibroid is. Cellular fibroids, an uncommon fibroid subtype, are at one end of the spectrum and contain more smooth muscle cells per unit volume than the surrounding normal myometrium and little or no ECM.
