It may perforate the MYOMETRIUM and erode uterine vessels causing hemorrhage.,NCI: A type of cancer that grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. It is formed after conception (fertilization of an egg by a sperm). It may spread to other parts of the body, such as the vagina, vulva, and lung.,NCI: This term is used when a complete mole or very rarely a partial mole invades the myometrium.
