| description | Leiomyomas are the most common benign tumors of the uterus. Majority of the leiomyomas occur in the body of the uterus; only 1%–2% of cases are confined to the cervix. A cervical leiomyoma is usually single and is either interstitial or subserosal; rarely, it becomes submucous and polypoidal. Here, we report an uncommon case of cervical leiomyoma. A 45-year-old female para 2 live 2 admitted with complaints of burning micturition and retention of urine. Ultrasound revealed a well-defined heteroechoic lesion measuring 9.6 cm × 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm noted along the posterior wall of the cervix suggestive of partially exophytic fibroid. Single posterior wall fibroid 10 cm × 8 cm was noted intraoperatively. Enucleation followed by hysterectomy was done successfully without injury to the bladder and ureters. |
