In January, I had a cervical mass removed. The pathology report came back indicating the tumor was an extremely rare benign fibroid called Mullerian Adenofibroma. No cancerous cells were found, however I think it is noteworthy that mixed mullerian malignant tumors often have areas that look like the mass I had removed. Also, not very much is known about the benign form of these tumors. Therefore, it is recommended (by my ob/gyn, the pathlogist, and two doctors at the Mayo clinic) that I go back to the hospital to have the remainder of the tumor removed.
I've been spending endless hours researching, trying to understand what little is really known about this very weird situation. The option that was recommended to me is to have a hysterectomy. But if I want to be a little less drastic, we could first try doing a deep cervical cone resection, to see if that might get all of it. My next step will be to go visit a gyn/oncologist to review my health history and to help me make a final decision about what steps to take to remove it.
