There are no other unified ways of classifying uterine fibroids except by anatomical location and configuration (in case of pedunculated type) but sonographers sometimes use a variety of terms to describe the nature of fibroids. For instace one could describe a fibroid as degenerating, calcified, huge, small etc.

In  addition  to  the  contribution  by  the  distinguished  researcher  above,  I  would  like  to  add  that  the  uterine  segment  the myoma  is  located  is  needful. For  example  posterior, mid-segment; anterior  lower-segment; fundal, etc.

The  most  important  thing  in  my  understanding, is  for  the  physician  to  know  the  location,  the  size  and  the   physiological  state  of  the  fibroid. If  the  traditional  classification  can  resolve  that,  so  be  it.

Apart from the location and whether it is degenerating or not, I do not thick there is another classification

A document about myomas and myometrial assessment is going to be shortly published in the White Journal (UOG).
