Abstract

Fibroids are the most common tumor in women and many medical and surgical options exist for their management. The incidence of uterine sarcoma in women undergoing treatment for fibroids has previously been thought to be extremely rare, however there has been recent controversy as to whether this risk has been underestimated. This article reviews the literature investigating the incidence of leiomyosarcoma and explores how different treatment modalities may affect risk from occult malignancy. We aim to provide a tool for counseling women who are considering options for the management of their fibroids.
