As long ago as 1955 Xxxxxx et al. established that the origin of fibroids are the uterine smooth muscle cells (Xxxxxx et al. 1955). The nomenclature of fibroids reflects their cellular origin with various terminologies in use including leiomyoma and myoma.

However, despite their widespread prevalence, fibroids’ pathophysiology and growth determinants remain poorly understood.
