MRI of the pelvis in a 22 year young lady with infertility showed a large submucosal fibroid of uterus.
- Sagittal and coronal T2FS and STIR images show a large submucosal leiomyoma that arises from the posterior uterine wall and causes significant distortion of the endometrial cavity.
- These can be differentiated from polyps on the basis of signal characteristics and location. Leiomyomas are hypointense on T2. Also, the origin of the leiomyoma is from the uterine wall rather than endometrium.
