Cystic Degeneration of Uterine Myoma Simulating Ovarian Cancer in Postpartum: A Case Report at the Teaching Hospital of Angre
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: The transformation of uterine fibroids is common in relation to their development. Giant forms of cystic degeneration are rare. They raise diagnostic difficulties with other pelvic tumors, such as ovarian tumors and leiomyosarcomas. Magnetic resonance imaging specifies the original organ, the volume and the main relationships of fibromyoma with adjacent structures. The diagnosis of certainty is based on laparotomy coupled with histology. The authors illustrate these difficulties by observing a giant cystic degenerative fibroma in a 26-year-old G1P1 woman in the postpartum period.
