Brief Summary
The main objective is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the MUSA terms and definitions, as defined in the paper by Van den Bosch T, Dueholm M, ea. in 2015, to differentiate between different types of myometrial lesions of more than 1 cm. The primary aim is the diagnostic accuracy of the MUSA terms and definitions and the secondary aim the development of a prediction model.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Diagnostic accuracy of the MUSA terms and definitions
Around 50 ultrasound characteristics will be assess as to diagnostic accuracy as predictors (Prospective evaluation of MUSA terms and definitions).
4 years
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Development of prediction model
5 years
Study Arms (1)
Patients planned for hysterectomy with a myometrial lesion of more than 1 cm.
Interventions
Surgery includes different types of hysterectomy: vaginal hysterectomy, total abdominal hysterectomy and laparoscopic or Robotic hysterectomy. The type of hysterectomy does not influence histological outcome, as long as the uterus is removed in one part (no power morcellation). Indications for surgery and the type of surgery are according to the departments' protocols. If the patient is deemed to be inoperable due to the extent of the disease, a representive biopsy (e.g. trucut biopsy) will be accepted if sufficiently motivated by the oncology team.
Eligibility Criteria
Patients planned for hysterectomy with a myometrial lesion
You may qualify if:
- Consecutive patients planned to undergo hysterectomy for myometrial pathology of more then 1cm (e.g. fibroid, focal adenomyosis, uterine sarcoma).
You may not qualify if:
- Patient's refusal
- Age \< 18 years
- Polymyomatous uterus
- Myometrial lesion with a diameter less then 10mm
- Patients currently treated for another cancer
- Patients with ovarian pathology, endometrial pathology of cervical pathology
- Power morcellation
