Uterine fibroma
Keywords:
hysterectomy, leiomyoma, uterusAbstract
Two photographs of a uterine fibroid are presented (Fig. 1). The 46-year-old patient went to the doctor with a diverse clinical picture. When performing a vaginal examination, an enlarged uterus was found, approximately 16 cm, with a nodular surface and increased consistency. The abdominal ultrasound revealed an enlarged uterus of more or less 16 cm with multiple fibromatous nodules. Surgical treatment was chosen as the most viable solution, performing a total abdominal hysterectomy without adnexectomy (panel A). In panel B, the uterine fibroid is observed after surgical treatment. There were no trans or postoperative complications or accidents, the patient had a favorable evolution and was discharged from the clinic.
