Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the description of the ultrasound report posted, it says that there is a small growth of 9 X 6 mm towards the posterior region in musculature of uterine tissue, which is suggestive of fibroid.
Uterine fibroids, also called 'leiomyomata', are noncancerous growths that develop in or just outside a woman's uterus. As it grows, they form a benign tumor, which needs to be removed surgically.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
