Considered as very common benign neoplasms that develop between 20 and 50% during reproductive ages, although they have also been reported before puberty and after menopause. Objective: To demonstrate the role of ultrasound in the diagnostic process of uterine fibroids. Materials and Methods: systematic research was carried out for the compilation of academic google information of scientific articles in the databases PuBMed, Cocrhane, American Journal of Gynecology, where they report about 2000 articles related to the topic under analysis, of which have chosen 20 in the range of the last 5 years and that are considered to have scientific relevance. Results: Based on the review in 10 articles, we recommend that in order to guarantee optimal diagnostic precision in Uterine Myomas, ultrasound should be performed, but that only 30% of the female population undergoes routine ultrasounds, which lengthens the diagnostic culmination.
