Abstract
A Large Uterine Leiomyoma with Hypertrophied Omental Vessels: A Case Report
Highlights
Uterine leiomyomas are the most common solid benign uterine neoplasms that arise from the overgrowth of smooth muscle and connective tissue in the uterus
It is estimated that 20-40% of women of reproductive age have uterine leiomyoma; the prevalence increases during the reproductive age and decreases after menopause [1,2]
We aimed to present the surgical management of a postmenopausal patient with a large uterine leiomyoma and omental large dilated blood vessels
Summary
Uterine leiomyomas are the most common solid benign uterine neoplasms that arise from the overgrowth of smooth muscle and connective tissue in the uterus. Uterine leiomyomas have been classified according to their location: Submucosal, intramural, subserosal. While subserosal uterine leiomyomas are usually asymptomatic; intramural and submucosal uterine leiomyomas are symptomatic. Clinical examination (medical history, abdominal palpation, speculum examination, bimanual palpation), utrasonographic examination, computed tomography scanning and magnetic resonance imaging are often to diagnose fibroids [5]. In this case report, we aimed to present the surgical management of a postmenopausal patient with a large uterine leiomyoma and omental large dilated blood vessels
