whorled
The following pathological description of multiple uterine leiomyomas from Dorland's Medical Dictionary (a fancy name for fibroids) seems to match your case and uses the term "whorled":
l. u´teri , uterine l. a leiomyoma of the uterus, usually occurring in the third and fourth decades, characterized by the development of **multiple, sharply circumscribed, unencapsulated, gray-white tumors, which are firm, usually round, and show a whorled pattern on cut section**. The majority are within the myometrium of the corpus of the uterus, but they may also occur in the cervix, usually in its posterior wall. **Those in the corpus are distinguished by location as either intramural**, submucosal, or subserosal leiomyomas. Called also fibromyoma uteri, uterine myoma, and, **colloquially, fibroids**.

spread
I understand that "turbilhonado" means "spread" instead of vorticized", which has no sense as to nodules, at least in English.
