Background.
Fibroids, which can impact pregnancies at later gestations, such as obstructing delivery, may also affect the pregnancy termination process.
Case.
We present the case of a 28-year-old G1 at 18 weeks who consented for a genetic pregnancy termination via dilation and evacuation.
During the typical preparatory procedure with laminaria, it was noted that a 5-6cm cervical fibroid prolapsed into the vagina obstructing access to the uterine cavity.
Through osmotic dilation followed by cervical Foley catheter ripening, a planned myomectomy was possible with minimal blood loss prior to uterine evacuation.
Conclusion.
Through appropriate counselling, planning, and effective cervical dilatation, a planned myomectomy for prolapsing fibroids at the time of termination of pregnancy is possible.
This can prevent unnecessary hysterotomy and avoid need for subsequent cesarean section.
