Myoma
Myomas are types of tumors that involve muscle cells. There are two main types:
- Leiomyoma which occur in smooth muscle. They most commonly occur as uterine fibroid, they may also form in other locations.
- Rhabdomyomas which occur in striated muscle. They are rare tumors, occur in childhood and often become malignant.
Whether or not angiomyomas are a type of leiomyoma or a separate entity is disputed as of 2014.
