EMERGENCY SURGICAL TREATMENT OF A VAGINALLY PROLAPSED SUBMUCOUS LEIMYOMA PRESENTING WITH LIFE-THREATENING VAGINAL HEMORRHAGE

Abstract

Aim: Uterine leiomyomata are benign smooth muscle tumors that are encountered commonly in women, especially after the beginning of the reproductive period. Symptoms and findings are usually associated with the location of the leiomyoma within the uterus. Vaginally prolapsed submucous leiomyomas may be completely asymptomatic, or may present with symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, discharge or pelvic pain. In this report, we present a rare case of a vaginally prolapsed submucous uterine leiomyoma that caused hemorrhagic shock, and discuss its emergency surgical treatment.

HAYATI TEHDİT EDEN VAJİNAL KANAMA İLE PREZENTE OLAN VAJENE DOĞMUŞ SUBMÜKÖZ MYOMUN ACİL CERRAHİ TEDAVİSİ

Abstract

Amaç: Uterin myomlar kadınlarda özellikle reprodüktif çağın başlamasıyla birlikte sıkça görülen benign düz kas tümörleridir. Semptom ve bulgular genellikle myomun uterus içerisindeki yerleşim yeri ile ilişkilidir. Vajene doğmuş submüköz myomlar tamamen asemptomatik olabildikleri gibi, vajinal kanama, akıntı veya pelvik ağrı ile karşımıza çıkabilirler. Bu yazıda, vajene doğmuş submüköz uterin myoma bağlı meydana gelen hemorajik şok olgusu sunulmuş ve olgunun acil cerrahi tedavisi ele alınmıştır.
