HUGE CERVICAL FIBROID – CASE REPORT

Dr. Priyanka Gupta*

ABSTRACT

Leiomyomas are the most common pelvic tumors in reproductive age. Fibroids are often asymptomatic: about 30%–50% of the premenopausal women who had no previous diagnosis have ultrasound evidence of fibroid tumors.[1] Nevertheless, among 15–54-year-old-women, fibroids accounts for 29% of gynecologic hospitalizations.[1] In majority cases fibroids are small and multiple, huge uterine fibroids (>10cm) are rare and complicated to manage. Large uterine fibroids frequently present with retention of urine, menstrual abnormalities, constipation, and sometimes can present only as an abdominal mass without any other symptoms.[2]
