Abstract

The leiomyoma of uterine body is the most common benign genital tumor in woman of reproductive age but occurs uncommonly in the uterine cervix. Cervical leiomyoma is rarely clinically significant except their complications including pressure effects on the bladder or ureter, degenerative phenomena and menorrhagia. Recently we experienced a case of leiomyoma arising in the endocervix and concomitant menorrhagia, so we report this case with a brief review of literature.
