Abstract :

 Uterine fioids (also known as leiomyomas or myomas) are the commonest benign uterine tumors, with an estimated incidence of 20%–40% in women during their reproductive years^1,2.In one study, the prevalence of ultrasound-identified tumors ranged from 4 percent in women 20 to 30 years of age to 11 to 18 percent in women 30 to 40 years of age and 33 percent in women 40 to 60 years of age. Studies report that 5.4 to 77 percent of women have uterine fioid tumors, depending on the population studied and the diagnostic method used^3,4. Cervical myomas accounts for 2% of all uterine fioids ⁵ . They are classified depending on the location into anterior , posterior, lateral and central cervical myomas.A central cervical fioid is usually either interstitial or submucous in origin and arises from supravaginal portion of the cervix so that it expands the cervix equally in all directions.Rarely a submucous fioid arising from the fundus of the uterus may burrow downwards to lie in the position of the cervix and simulates to form a pseudocervical fioid
