The prolapsed or abortive myoma is a rare entity and incidental finding in patients who report abnormal uterine bleeding, metrorrhagia type or during sexual intercourse. Its clinical and ultrasound diagnosis is usually very easy, however, it can be subject to medical errors in underestimating its origin and confused with cervical carcinoma or cervical inflammation in obstetricians who are not well trained. In the presentation of this case of a myoma proceeding in a patient who underwent caesarean section and 6 months later began to present persistent spotting-type bleeding, without other concomitants, without an adequate clinical evaluation of it. Therefore, we seek that, with this case, we learn a little more in our professional practice.
