Abstract

Most of the leiomyomas are situated in the body of the uterus, but in 1-2% of the cases, they are confined to cervix and usually to the supra-vaginal portion. A cervical leiomyoma is commonly single and is either interstitial or sub-serous. Rarely it becomes sub-mucous and polypoidal.

Cervical fibroid of size 15 X 8 cm was arising from the posterior lip of cervix, was sub-mucous, sessile with a normal size uterus and bilateral ovaries. Total abdominal hysterectomy was done and both ovaries were left intact considering young age of patient.
