Hypovolemic shock due to giant uterus leiomyoma detachment.
Akush Ginekol (Sofiia). 2010; 49(5):68-71.AG

Abstract

Uterine leiomyoma (UL) is the most common benign gynecologic tumor of the reproductive age females. It is symptomatic only in 25% of the patients causing dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia or anemia. In some patients it occurs just as a palpable abdominal mass. In this study, we report a 50-year-old woman with a giant mass, attached to the uterus, which was detached and therefore led to shock due to major hemorrhage. Surgical removal of both the mass and the uterus confirmed the diagnosis of a pedunculated uterine leiomyoma.
