Surgery

Benign fibromas can be removed or left alone. A physician should examine the fibroma and determine whether it may be malignant. If there is any question as to whether it may be cancer-related, it should be removed. This is usually a brief outpatient procedure.

Uterine fibroma

Hysterectomy

• The standard treatment for uterine fibroids includes uterus resection (hysterectomy) either transabdominal or transvaginal and sometimes even resection of the ovaries.
