Uterine fibroids. Fibroids are some of the commonest benign tumours, predominately found in the muscle layer of the uterus. As long ago as 1955 Xxxxxx et al. established that the origin of fibroids are the uterine smooth muscle cells (Xxxxxx et al. 1955). The nomenclature of fibroids reflects their cellular origin with various terminologies in use including leiomyoma and myoma. In histopathological terms fibroids are well circumscribed, pseudoencapsulated, solid masses that can reach up to 30cm in size and contain a large amount of connective tissue (Blake 2007). However, despite their widespread prevalence, fibroids’ pathophysiology and growth determinants remain poorly understood.
