Nine cases (53%) showed exophytic with a stalk and eight cases (47%) showed broad\u2010based exophytic growth. None of them showed invasive growth. Fourteen cases (82%) were isointense and three cases (18%) were hyperintense to myometrium on T1\u2010weighted images (T1WI). An extremely high intensity area suggesting intratumoral hemorrhage was seen in only two cases. In 15 cases (88%), more than half of the tumor showed higher signal intensity than the outer myometrium on T2WI. Eight of the 16 cases (50%) had an unenhanced area, whereas 13 cases (81%) had a strongly enhanced area.
