The aim of the study was to present this rare finding in our centre and to show our management and the challenges encountered. We present a 45-year-old multipara who before the presentation had 6-year history of abnormal vaginal bleeding and was previously managed in a peripheral hospital. Physical examination suggested a large cervical fibroid and a hydronephrosis on the right displayed on intravenous urogram. She had total abdominal hysterectomy with the urologist who repaired an inadvertent ureteric injury and inserted a stent. It was removed after 6 weeks, and she was discharged with no further complications. Management of such patients should involve other disciplines after careful evaluation has been carried out.}, URL ={https://www.phmj.org/article.asp?issn=0795-3038;year=2016;volume=10;issue=3;spage=135;epage=138;aulast=Ekweani;t=6}, eprint ={https://www.phmj.org/article.asp?issn=0795-3038;year=2016;volume=10;issue=3;spage=135;epage=138;aulast=Ekweani;t=6} }
