A tale of 2 pedunculated myomas

Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2005 Nov;193(5):1753-5. doi: 10.1016/j.ajog.2005.08.026.

Abstract

We present 2 unusual cases of prolapsed pedunculated submucous myomas. In 1 patient, the prolapsed part measured 12 cm, with a 64-cm intrauterine part. The second patient had prolapsed pedunculated submucous myoma, which subsequently retracted into the uterus. Gynecologists should be aware of unusual presentations of pedunculated submucous myoma to plan surgery.
