If the fibroid develops toward the abdominal cavity, it can only be connected to the uterus through a pedicle, becoming a pedicled subserosal uterine fibroid. The blood vessels contained in the tumor pedicle are fibroids. Blood circulation. If the tumor pedicle is twisted, the tumor pedicle may necrotize, and the fibroid falls off in the abdominal cavity, sticking to the greater omentum, intestinal membrane and other adjacent organ tissues, obtaining blood nutrition, and becoming a "parasitic fibroid" or "free fibroid".
