  • Title: Prolapsed cervical myoma after uterine artery embolization. A case report.
    Author: Pollard RR, Goldberg JM.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 2001 May; 46(5):499-500. PubMed ID: 11396381.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Cervical prolapse of myomas following uterine artery embolization is an infrequently reported occurrence. CASE: A 40-year-old woman with a history of three prior abdominal myomectomies underwent uterine artery embolization for severe menorrhagia due to myomas. Two weeks later a large cervical myoma prolapsed, requiring an abdominal hysterectomy. CONCLUSION: Cervical myomas should be considered a relative contraindication to uterine artery embolization.
