This article deals with '''[[uterus|uterine]] tumours''', with the exception of the tumours that arise from the [[endometrium]].  


Uterine tumours are like water in the sea - very very common.  Many hysterectomies are done for them. The most common are leiomyomata ([[AKA]] fibroids).

{{Main|Uterine leiomyoma}}
===General===
*Extremely common... 40% of women by age 40.
*Benign.
**Can be a cause of abnormal uterine bleeding (commonly abbreviated ''AUB'').
*Large & multiple associated with infertility.
 
===Gross===
Feature:
* Sharply circumscribed.
* Gray-white.
* Whorled appearance.
 
Factor that raise concern for leiomyosarcoma:
* Haemorrhage.
* Cystic degeneration.
* [[Necrosis]].
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
* Spindle cells arranged in fascicles.
** Fascicular appearance: adjacent groups of cells have their long axis perpendicular to one another; looks somewhat like a braided hair that was cut.
* Whorled arrangement of cells.
 
Negatives:
* Necrosis (low power) - suggestive of leiomyosarcoma.
* Hypercellularity.
* Nuclear atypia seen at low power.
* Few mitoses.
