The authors report the clinical case of a multipara whose intracervical
myoma had been diagnosed during the prenatal follow-up and who was delivered
into the vagina during labor. Caesarean section was indicated to avoid rupture
of the pedicle during fetal expulsion. The myomectomy was performed in a second
operation via the vagina, without complications.
