Abstract

Cervical leiomyomas or fibroids constitute a rare variety of benign pelvic tumors. The symptoms may vary from urinary retention, frequency, dyspareunia to rare clinical presentations such as prolapsed cervical fibroid polyp which may mimic procidentia or even uterine inversion. Preoperative clinical evaluation, radiological imaging, and proper intra-operative delineation of pelvic anatomy can help in their successful management. We are presenting a series of three cases of cervical leiomyomas which presented as a diagnostic challenge but their proper evaluation ultimately led us to manage these cases judiciously. The first case of cervical fibroid polyp mimicked incarcerated procidentia, the second case mimicked pelvic organ prolapse while the third case presented with acute urinary retention. All these cases were evaluated by ultrasound as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and were managed surgically without any complications. The MRI features of all the cases have been described. One should be aware of the uncommon presentations of cervical fibroid and should consider it in the differential diagnosis of any pelvic mass.
