Cervical myomas are benign tumors originating from cervical muscle tissue with a very rare incidence of only about 8% of all myomas. The surgical approach depends on the position of cervical myoma. This case report discusses a 44-year-old woman who complained of a lump discharge from her birth canal 6 months ago, and currently discharging from her vagina. We performed vaginal myomectomy, and the cervical myoma measuring 8 × 8 × 6 cm with solid consistency was removed. We continued with total vaginal hysterectomy. Post-operative recovery was progressing well. The histopathology report was consistent with leiomyoma. Large prolapsed cervical myoma can be disturbing and discomforting for many patients. It is relatively rare and can be successfully removed vaginally with minimal morbidity.
