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’ve never had ivf I’ve had four natural pregnancies and they have told me that placenta remained from my last and she will be four in July my APSN was found having a endo biopsy due to the heavy bleeding and spotting and very regular periods thinking I may have had endometriosis

  • Is everyone on this thread from the UK? I'm in Ireland. I asked the doctor how many people in the whole of Ireland have this and he said 9! There must be many more..They should definately be studying us and asking questions. The doctor in theatre who was removing my retained placenta said it was a blind procedure, no camera used but reassured me it was very straight forward.. I was worried about this at the time. Now I'm wondering if they used camera wouldnt this have stopped any fragments of placenta being left behind if they could actually see what they were doing. I was also told today by the nurse that last weekend they had a big conference in London with all the top specialists working in this field, they were hoping to have some updated info & data.. But nothing. Very strange no questions are being asked to us considering how rare this is
