Prolapsed cervical myoma during pregnancy

Abstract

Prolapsed submucosal myomas during pregnancy are uncommon, and few cases of patients undergoing vaginal myomectomy during pregnancy have been reported. In our center, a 13 weeks pregnant patient with prolapsed cervical myoma was diagnosed. Because of intermittent vaginal bleeding, surgery was scheduled at 13 weeks and 5 days of pregnancy. A vaginal myomectomy was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. Cervical leiomyomas and prolapsed submucosal leiomyomas in pregnancy are rare clinical entities, and the literature is comprised of only case reports. We reviewed the current literature in regard to prolapsed cervical leiomyomas in pregnancy and provide an updated vision of the literature.
