Dr Ashwini Desai | Dr Uditi Merchant | Dr Gayatri Rao
Abstract: Background: Uterine leiomyomas, the most common benign gynecological tumor [1], usually occur in females of reproductive age. Fibroids affect 20 - 50% of women of reproductive age, while its presence in the adolescent population has not been well documented. The etiology of uterine fibroids is unclear; however, their growth is regulated by ovarian steroids and growth factors. Multiple uterine leiomyoma?s represents a great challenge for diagnosis and treatment. Myomectomy is the preferred surgical treatment in reproductive - aged women who want to retain their uterus. We present a case report of a multiple uterine fibroids detected in a 45 - year - old nulliparous single woman desirous of future fertility. The patient underwent myomectomy and histopathology was suggestive of leiomyomas with degeneration. This case confirms the efficiency, reliability, and safety of a minimally invasive surgical approach for removing multiple uterine myomas. Thus, Laparoscopic Myomectomy is the preferred procedure for those in view of preserving fertility.
