FREIXO, Marília Lima; MELO, Anabela  and  TORRES, Sílvia. Cervical elongation caused by cervical fibroid mimicking uterine prolapse. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2023, vol.17, n.1, pp.89-91.  Epub Mar 31, 2023. ISSN 1646-5830.

Growing cervical masses could drag the cervix, predisposing to cervical elongation and prolapse. The differential diagnosis of protrusion of a large vaginal mass includes a uterine or vaginal vault prolapse, a pedunculated uterine leiomyoma or leiomyosarcoma, a uterine stromal tumor or a giant polyp. The authors report a case of an atypical presentation of cervical fibroid with cervical elongation mimicking cervical malignancy.

Keywords : Cervical fibroid; Cervical elongation.
