Uterine leiomyomas are benign tumors that develop from smooth muscle tissue and are present in up to 77% of women in menacme. They are often asymptomatic but can cause pelvic pain, compression, abnormal uterine bleeding, and degeneration. We present the first case report of a perimenopausal woman who exhibited complete and spontaneous expulsion of uterine fibroids without embolization or use of medication. She complained of a mass extruding from the vaginal orifice associated with bleeding and pain for a couple of hours. The anatomopathological findings showed a myomatous lesion. Complete expulsion of a uterine fibroid is a rare condition that may be associated with profuse hemorrhage and can pose a risk to the patient. When it occurs during perimenopause, it can mimic several clinical conditions. Therefore, gynecologists must remain alert to make the correct diagnosis and treatment.
