Types of uterine fibroids • Submucous: >50% projection into the endometrial cavity. Intramural: located within the myometrium. • • Subserous: >50% of the fibroid mass extends outside the uterine contours. • Cervical: relatively uncommon and can cause surgical difficulty due to the proximity to the bladder and the ureters. • Pedunculated: mobile and prone to torsion. • Parasitic: have become detached from the uterus and attached to other structures. • IV leiomyomatosis: very rare, spread through the pelvic veins and vena cava to involve the heart.
