Successful pregnancy after presurgical uterine artery embolization in the management of a very large cervical myoma: A case report.

Although fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the uterus in women of reproductive age, cervical fibroids are rarely seen. Since cervical fibroids are located deep in the pelvis, the incidence of complications in surgery is high. Among these complications bleeding is the most common, due to poor access to myoma, difficulty in suturing and repair, and distortion of vital neighboring structures.
