Leiomyoma
Slide2Slide3Classification of Uterine Leiomyomas
Slide4Slide5Diagnosis
Leiomyomas
are often detected by pelvic examination with findings of uterine enlargement, irregular contour, smooth outlines, freely mobile uterus.
In reproductive-aged women, uterine enlargement should prompt determination of a urine or serum -
hCG
level.

Slide9Slide10Case 1:
A 34-year-old female pregnant 28 weeks presents with acute abdominal pain that is continuous for the previous 2 days. Examination: temp.37.8 Co , PR 100bpm, B.P. 110\80mmHg. Abdominal exam. SFH 34 weeks with max tenderness over the uterine
fundus
, fetal heart 140
bpm
.
What is your provisional diagnosis
?
How would you confirm the diagnosis
?
Mention the treatment of this case
.
Slide11Clinical findings of red degeneration include focal pain, tenderness on palpation, and sometimes low-grade fever and leukocytosis. On occasion, the parietal peritoneum overlying the infarcted myoma becomes inflamed and a peritoneal friction rub develops.
Slide12Myoma degeneration may be difficult to differentiate from appendicitis, placental abruption, ureteral stone, or pyelonephritis, and imaging techniques aid in discrimination.
Treatment
of symptomatic
myomas
consists of analgesia and observation. Most often, signs and symptoms abate within a few days, but inflammation may stimulate labor. Surgery is rarely necessary during pregnancy.
Slide13Note:Regardless of their size, asymptomatic leiomyomas usually can be managed expectantly by annual pelvic examination
Slide14Case 2:A 34-year-old newly married female presents with lower abdominal mass. Abd. Exam: uterine size 22weeks. U\S revealed an intramural fibroid 10*12 cm.
What is your
preconceptional
counseling for this patient
?
Slide15After 1 year the same patient presents to you because she is not getting pregnant yet.What is your treatment ?
Slide16Case 3:a 28-year-old female pregnant 40 weeks with a breech presentation. At caesarean section a uterine myoma was found at the lower uterine segment.
What is your decision concerning the uterine
myoma
?
