Cervical leiomyoma is a relatively uncommon type of uterine leiomyoma. Prolapse of a cervical leiomyoma with inversion of the cervix is an extremely rare phenomenon, especially in a non-puerperal woman. Only a handful of cases are reported in the English literature. The case discussed here is of a vaginal prolapse of a submucous cervical fibroid complicated by cervical inversion in a South Asian perimenopausal woman with multiple comorbidities who had defaulted medical follow-up during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Being one of the largest reported cervical fibroids to date is another particularity of this case. Emphasis is given to the clinical diagnostic, anaesthetic, and surgical challenges encountered with a brief note on the impact of COVID-19 on outpatient clinic follow-up.

Objective: Hysteroscopic myomectomy is widely regarded as safe and feasible, although achieving single-session results for larger myomas often requires alternative methods. This study introduces a novel approach: ultrasound-guided myoma extirpation using ring forceps combined with hysteroscopy.

Methods: This retrospective, single-center study includes patients who underwent ultrasound-guided myoma extirpation between 2016 and 2024.

Uterine inversion is a rare condition that refers to the collapse of the fundus into the uterine cavity and occurs in puerperal and non-puerperal conditions. Non-puerperal uterine inversion is particularly infrequent. Diagnosing non-puerperal uterine inversion is often challenging because it resembles vaginal or cervical tumors and pelvic organ prolapse.

Introduction: Uterine fibroids (UFs), also known as leiomyomas, are the most common benign gynecological tumors. Currently, morcellation is discouraged due to the risk of disseminating undetected malignancies. This study aimed to update the prevalence data on occult malignancies in surgeries for suspected benign uterine lesions and analyze the impact of treatment strategies on the survival outcomes in patients with occult malignancy.
