The : The best case scenario would be a benign tumor otherwise known as a fibroid. There are many treatment options for fibroids, especially options that would preserve her fertility (ability to carry a child). The worse case scenario would be a cancerous lesion.

Pelvic US would help: And depending on the findings, a pelvic MRI may provide a complete answer regarding an intrauterine mass. Please have the patient contact their physician in order to create a diagnosis and treatment plan. Statistically, this is a benign uterine fibroid, but a complete workup is required before the actual diagnosis is known.
