ABSTRACT

As growth of uterine fibroid is oestrogen dependent, it tends to regress after menopause. Symptomatic fibroid degeneration in a postmenopausal female, is therefore exceedingly rare. Here we report a case of an unusual type of degeneration in a fibroid in a postmenopausal female which simulated a surgical abdomen.
