Unlikely, but...: That scenario would be very unusual, but if the fibroid happened to be very large and push on a deep pelvic vein (iliac), it could cause stagnant flow within the vein. Stagnant venous flow is a risk factor for dvt. Diagnosis would be via ultrasound with doppler and/or ct of the pelvis with contrast.

Yes: A large uterine fibroid can compress an iliac vein and cause dvt. It is fairly unusual, but certainly possible.
