Teaching Point – Normal Thickness by Age/Cycle

0:01

So that brings us to the conclusion for leiomyomas.

0:05

Some important teaching points to

0:06

remember when you're evaluating these

0:08

and when you're dictating these.

0:10

Note the location of the fibroid.

0:11

That's important.

0:13

On ultrasound, it may get a little bit tricky.

0:14

You're not necessarily going to be able to

0:16

measure and accurately report every single

0:19

fibroid, but you should definitely do it.

0:21

Always note if there's a submucosal one,

0:23

no matter how small it is, because that may be

0:25

the one that's causing the patient's symptoms.

0:27

On MRI, it's a lot easier to see all of

0:29

them and to characterize all of them.

0:31

Your surgeon may want to know literally

0:33

every single fibroid, but you'll have to

0:34

be familiar with what your surgeon wants.

0:36

And again, along with that, MRI is going

0:39

to be superior for characterization

0:40

of fibroids and for surgical planning

0:42

and to evaluate for that rare sarcoma.
