Fibroid with necrotic center

I have an asymptomatic patient with a 4 cm fibroid which has a necrotic
center. Last year the fibroid was 3 cm with just a hint of central
necrosis. She is 42 years old. Is central necrosis enough of an indicator
of sarcomatous degeneration to warrant hysterectomy in an asymptomatic patient?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA
Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate
learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of
sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing
medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets
these criteria. For further information
