“…Even now, a “myoma with a rapid increase in size” or a “rapidly growing myoma” is considered to indicate a developing sarcoma 15 , but the criterion “rapid” (an increase in size by how many cm or cm 3 per unit of time?) has not been properly defined.…”

Research Question What are the growth patterns of uterine myomas in untreated premenopausal women? Which factors influence the growth rate of uterine myomas in premenopausal women? Method All premenopausal women who presented to the outpatient myoma consultation clinic between January 2005 and March 2022 at least twice were screened. Exclusion criteria were hormonal therapy, pregnancy, and postmenopausal status. Results A total of 189 patients were included in our study which focused on the respective largest uterine myoma of each woman. An ideal linear growth over time was assumed. Most myomas (82%) increased in size. The mean annual growth of these myomas was 68.42 cm3. The most important prognostic factor for growth was the initial size of the myoma. The absolute annual growth of myomas measuring > 50 cm3 at first presentation was higher compared to smaller myomas (p < 0.001). The relative annual growth rate was highest for myomas measuring between 20 and 50 cm3 at the initial presentation (p = 0.003). The relative annual growth rate in women older than 40 years was significantly lower than that in women below the age of 40 years (p = 0.003). Conclusion Overall, it is difficult to make an individual prognosis about the growth pattern of a uterine myoma in a specific patient. It should be noted especially in asymptomatic patients that spontaneous regression of myoma size can also occur in premenopausal women.

“…Auch aktuell wird ein „Myom mit rascher Größenprogredienz“ resp. ein „schnellwachsendes Myom“ als Hinweis auf eine Sarkomentwicklung gedeutet 15 , ohne dass das Kriterium „schnell“ (wieviel cm oder cm 3 Größenzunahme pro Zeiteinheit?) näher definiert wird.…”
