Submucous Fibroid or Submucosal Fibroid is a form of uterine fibroid located in the muscle below the uterine lining of the uterus and develops in the uterine cavity. These fibroids are noncancerous growth of the uterus that usually occurs during reproductive years. Uterine fibroids are not associated with a high risk of uterine cancer and usually never develop into cancer. 

Fibroids vary in size from seedlings, unnoticeable by the human eye, to heavy masses that can develop and swell the uterus. These fibroids can be isolated or spread out. In severe circumstances, many fibroids may cause the uterus to enlarge to the point where it touches the rib cage and gains weight. 

Uterine fibroids are a common condition in many women. As they cause no symptoms, you might not be aware that you have them. However your doctor might diagnose them while having pelvic exam or prenatal ultrasound.
