Atypical Placental Site Nodule?

Shot in the dark here as this seems to be quite rare. Been told I have an atypical placental site nodule (found on a pre op scan for prolapse repair that endometrium was too thick). Hysterscopy and biospy have come back saying I have this. Consultant says not to worry, but he's only seen this once in ten years and results / slides have been sent to a specialist.

 

has anyone any information on this? It's so few and far between. I've found a handful of papers and it seems that this could become a tumor

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some health problems which have led to this nodule being incidentally found. I'm not sure that we've any members here on the forum who have had the same but hopefully, if someone does have experience with this then they will reply to your post. 

    It's understandable that you'd like more information and hopefully the specialist who is reviewing the results/slides will be able to give this to you. I would say be wary of searching Google for information particularly with this being an uncommon issue. Typically most Google results of this kind end up with mixed messages and a lot of anxiety for the person involved. Try to take things a day at a time and keep positive that your Consultant didn't feel there was any immediate cause for concern. 

    I hope that you don' have to wait too long for more information and that your surgery is able to go ahead as planned. 

    Best wishes,
