A huge prolapsed cervical fibroid: a case report

Pelvic leiomyomas are the most common benign smooth muscle tumors of the genital tract in women between 35 and 40 years old [3], [4]. Asymptomatic, slow-growing fibroids are seen in perimenopausal women constituting 30 % of the total. They can cause vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, urinary disorders, pregnancy loss, dyspareunia, and in some cases infertility [3]. Such tumors are estrogen-dependent [1]. Cervical leiomyomas are occurs rarely, prevalence is considered to be less than 5 %, where they commonly presents with symptoms like abnormal vaginal bleeding, dyspareunia and constipation [2]. Cervical fibroid can pass through the cervical canal to the vaginaand it can cause necrosis which was seen in our present case [3]. Ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT scan helps and plays an important role in the management of patients with cervical leiomyomas [7]by detecting their number, size, and location. The management of cervical fibroid is planned according to patients profile including eitherincludes either myomectomy or hysterectomy.The management of cervical fibroid proves to be a challenge to the surgeon in view of their close proximity to the vital pelvic structures and likelihood to cause surgical complications.
