Case Discussion

Intramural leiomyomas, which are the most common, are usually asymptomatic. However, they can occasionally be associated with menorrhagia and infertility. Infertility can occur secondarily to extrinsic compression of the Fallopian tube. Menstrual irregularities are hypothesized to be secondary to loss of symmetric uterine contractions.
