O34.1: Maternal care for tumour of corpus uteri
You have been suspected to have or diagnosed with a tumor in the uterus.
The uterus or womb sits in the pelvis and is pear-shaped. The narrower part extends downward into the vagina and is called the cervix. When a woman is pregnant, the child grows in her uterus.
The tissue in the body is made up of cells. A tumor disorder involves the cells multiplying more than normal. This results in abnormal or excess tissue forming. A tumor can be benign or malignant.
The tumor you had was suspected or diagnosed during the pregnancy or beforehand.
