The question tests knowledge of fibroids, presentation, and symptoms. The correct answer is 1. The learning objectives of question are designed to test against three pitfalls: 1. Focusing on the uniform enlargement and ignoring clinical symptoms. 2. Assuming that submucosal fibroids must always appear with a “knobby” uterine contour. 3. Prioritizing clinical symptoms - which in this case present red flags for uterine cavity distortion. Know both your pathophysiology for each type of fibroid, and why they present with their specific symptoms! --- This question appears in [Med-Challenger OBGYN Exam Review with CME](https://challengercme.com/obgyn-exam-review-cme-course) [Try for free and save](https://fuse.challengercme.com/fulltrial/188).
