The topic Cervical Leiomyoma you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Leiomyoma of Uterine Cervix.

Quick Summary:

  • Leiomyoma of Uterine Cervix is a benign mass that is present in the cervix. A leiomyoma is a benign smooth muscle tumor that can develop anywhere in the body
  • Unlike uterine leiomyomas (or uterine fibroids), which are very common tumors, Cervical Leiomyomas are extremely uncommon tumors. Also, unlike uterine leiomyomas, no morphological variants are described for Cervical Leiomyomas
  • Leiomyomas of Cervix are typically painless, solitary, and are observed to be well-circumscribed (in most cases). They are found in young, middle-aged, and older women
  • The treatment of choice is a surgical removal of the entire tumor. The prognosis is excellent with appropriate treatment, since Leiomyoma of Uterine Cervix is a benign tumor

Based on the location of Cervical Leiomyoma, it may be classified according to the following 3 subtypes:

  • Interstitial Leiomyoma of Cervix
  • Supravaginal Leiomyoma of Cervix (it is the most common type)
  • Polypoidal Leiomyoma of Cervix
