Patient's question:
What is the most common degeneration of uterine fibroids? Doctor, can you explain it to me in a few words?Doctor's answer:
The uterine fibroids have been present for a long time and may lose their existing typical structure, leading to degeneration. The most common type of degeneration is hyalinization, where the cells of the fibroid disappear and transform into a uniform, translucent, non-structured substance. Additionally, other types of degeneration include cystic disease, red degeneration, and fibrosis. Among these, the most severe form is sarcomatoid transformation, which is essentially the transformation into cancer.
