Cervical leiomyomas - even small ones - are extremely uncommon. Two consecutive cases of very large cervical leiomyomas in young women came to our attention during the summer 2018 in Sudan. Both women presented with symptoms of heaviness/discomfort in the lower abdominal region and signs of anemia. Their management and surgical therapy are outlined.
