What Does Atypical Mean In Context Of A Myomectomy In A Pregnancy?

43 years old had myomectomy on 9/29/10 size referred as 5 months pregnant. Just received results that it was atypical. When I asked what that meant she stated I need to be monitored every 6 months but could not answer when I asked what atypical means she said she is a NP and told me she will have a doctor get back to me. Please advise what this means

Hi
I have gone through your description.bases on that i understood is ,there was a lesion in uterus corresponding to size of 5 months pregnant.they resected the lesion of myometriun so called myomectomy. The lesion sent for histopathology to know nature of lesion whether benign or malignant.the report might have mentioned some atypical cells that is cells not benign and showing changes prodromal of malignancy.that meanss there are not defintly malignant but suspecious of malignancy .so they might asked you for followup.dont worry.have regular checkups to know any recrrence of lesion.
Thank you
