Fibroids represent an extremely common benign uterine pathology, being a major cause of abnormal uterine bleeding disorders. Although most myomas are of benign origin, it is important to have a correct diagnostic procedure prior to endoscopic myoma resection. Preoperative imaging techniques as well as histological criteria have to be taken into account. The true prevalence of uterine sarcoma in presumed fibroids is not known, given the wide range of prevalence (0.014–0.45%) from meta-analyses mainly based on retrospective trials. Age and certain imaging characteristics are associated with a higher risk of uterine sarcoma, although the risks remain low [1, 2].
