Anterior intramural fibroids are located in front of the uterus. Posterior intramural fibroids are found in the back of the uterus. Fundal intramural fibroids are found in the upper part of the uterus.
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. Also called leiomyomas (lie-o-my-O-muhs) or myomas, uterine fibroids aren't associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never develop into cancer.

Medical imaging, including ultrasound and MRI, can be used to tell the difference between fibroids and cancerous tumors in the uterus. Additionally, pathologists (doctors who specialize in analyzing bodily tissue) can look at a biopsy of the fibroid under a microscope and count the dividing cells.
Rarely (less than one in 1,000) a cancerous fibroid will occur. This is called leiomyosarcoma. (leye-oh-meye-oh-sar-KOH-muh) Doctors think that these cancers do not arise from an already-existing fibroid. Having fibroids does not increase the risk of developing a cancerous fibroid.

An intramural fibroid is a noncancerous tumor that grows between the muscles of the uterus. There are several types of intramural fibroids: anterior intramural fibroid, located in the front of the uterus. posterior intramural fibroid, located in the back of the uterus.

Pathologists look at fibroids under a microscope and count the dividing cells, called mitotic figures. When they see at least ten mitotic figures under a high-power lens, the fibroid is said to be a cancer. If a cancer is hiding in your fibroid, the ramifications can be catastrophic.
So when should you seek out treatment? “Women should consider treatment when uterine fibroids are associated with heavy menstrual bleeding, persistent pelvic pain or pressure, or recurrent miscarriage,” said Dr. Ruiz.
Fibroids are muscular tumors that grow on the uterine walls and are usually benign. While most women don't experience any painful symptoms, some severe cases require an endometrial biopsy, where a small tissue sample is taken from the lining of the uterus.
MRI scans can help tell if a uterine tumor looks like cancer, but a biopsy is still needed to tell for sure.
