What does MYOMA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A benign tumour formed of muscle tissue, most commonly occurring in the wall of the uterus.
A myoma, also widely called a fibroid, grows from the smooth muscle layer of an organ, most often the uterus, and is not cancerous, though it can cause pain or heavy bleeding depending on its size and position. Doctors detect a myoma through physical examination, ultrasound or other scans, and treatment ranges from simple monitoring to surgical removal, depending on the symptoms it causes. The word combines the Greek roots for muscle and tumour, matching the tissue it describes. Several myomas can occur together in the same organ.
