Uterine  fibroids are common benign, non-cancerous growths arising in the  uterus. Uterine fibroids most affect women of childbearing age. A single  or multiple fibroids may appear. The location may vary from case to  case. Also called leiomyomas or myomas, uterine fibroids aren't  associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never  develop into cancer. Fibroids range in size from seedlings, undetectable  by the human eye, to bulky masses that can distort and enlarge the  uterus. You can have a single fibroid or multiple ones. In extreme  cases, multiple fibroids can expand the uterus so much that it reaches  the rib cage. Fibroids usually don't interfere with getting pregnant.  However, it's possible that fibroids — especially submucosal fibroids —  could cause infertility or pregnancy loss. Fibroids may also raise the  risk of certain pregnancy complications, such as placental abruption,  fetal growth restriction and preterm delivery.
