Abstract
Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign pelvic tumor in women. The calculated percentage of prolapsed pedunculated submucosal leiomyoma was 2.5% in patients with pedunculated submucosal leiomyoma. We present a 44 - year - old female who has been examined at Vinmec Times City Hospital due to prolonged menstrual bleeding and anemia. Vaginal ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed a pedunculated submucosal leiomyoma prolapsing into the cervical canal and vagina. She underwent a vaginal myomectomy without complication. In conclusion, the prolapse of pedunculated submucosal leiomyoma into the vagina is a rare case. Although transvaginal ultrasound can often diagnose and characterise leiomyomas, MRI is the most accurate imaging technique for detection, localisation and characterisation of leiomyomas. In respect of submucosal leiomyomas, MRI is also better than ultrasonography in determining the presence of prolapse, its caudal extent and location of the stalk.
