1. Uterine fibroids are frequently found incidentally during a routine pelvic exam.
2. Ultrasound. If confirmation is needed. transabdominal or transvaginal.
3. Lab tests. complete blood count (CBC) to determine if you have anemia because of chronic blood loss and other blood tests to rule out bleeding disorders or thyroid problems.
4. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This imaging test can show in more detail the size and location of fibroids, identify different types of tumors, and help determine appropriate treatment options. An MRI is most often used in women with a larger uterus or in women approaching menopause (perimenopause).
5. Hysterosonography. Hysterosonography, also called a saline infusion sonogram, uses sterile salt water (saline) to expand the uterine cavity, making it easier to get images of submucosal fibroids and the lining of the uterus in women attempting pregnancy or who have heavy menstrual bleeding.
6. Hysterosalpingography. Hysterosalpingography uses a dye to highlight the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes on X-ray images. To determine if your fallopian tubes are open or are blocked and can show some submucosal fibroids.
7. Hysteroscopy.

Bone tumors can either be benign or malignant. Benign tumors are not cancerous and are unlikely to be fatal, but they may still require treatment. Some examples of benign bone tumors include: 1. Osteochondromas, 2. Nonossifying fibroma unicameral, 3. Giant cell tumors, 4. Enchondroma, 5. Fibrous dysRead more

1. Osteochondromas,
2. Nonossifying fibroma unicameral,
3. Giant cell tumors,
4. Enchondroma,
5. Fibrous dysplasia, and
6. Aneurysmal bone cyst.
Malignant bone tumors, on the other hand, are cancerous and can cause cancer to spread throughout the body. The three most common forms of primary bone cancers are:
1. Osteosarcoma,
2. Ewing sarcoma family of tumors, and
3. Chondrosarcoma.
