Are Fibroids cancerous?

Uterine Fibroids are a common condition characterized by benign (non-cancerous) tumors developing in the uterus. These muscular tumors are routinely non-cancerous. However, in less than 1% of women presenting with Fibroids, a cancerous tumor can be found. Although a rarity, this statistic makes Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of women with suspected or known Fibroids particularly important.
