Abstract

Cervical leiomyomas account for 1 to 2% of all uterine fibroids. Fibroids, commonly present in the reproductive age group women, are rare in the early decades of life. The evaluation and classification of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) has been standardized by FIGO. This standard is useful in parous women, but its utility is unclear about AUB in young unmarried population. Here, the authors present a case of a young, unmarried patient with AUB and a large fibroid polyp arising from the anterior aspect of the endocervix. The case is reported due to its rarity and the diagnostic and management difficulties associated with it.
