Rationale for change

AMBOSS terms it as a "uterine leiomyoma" (not just "leiomyoma") or "fibroid" (not "uterine fibroid"). This change also allows for addon recognition of both terms (neither fully recognized currently).

Uterine leiomyoma
Limited assessment possible as only one image is accessible: This image is of a transvaginal ultrasound, whereby the transducer is positioned near the cervix and the sound waves are sent cranially, resulting in a sagittal section of the uterine corpus (D) and cervix (C). The endometrium (A) lies central in the uterus and is termed endometrial stripe in ultrasound. There are three suspected myomas (B) in the myometrium, with both cranially located myomas heterogeneous and hypoechoic and the myoma at the bottom of the image demonstrating calcifications.
