Severe Abdominal Colic Pain During Pregnancy; A Case Report of Degenerate Uterine Leiomyoma

Abstract

Uterine leiomyoma and fibroma are the same name of the most common benign tumors of uterine and have been diagnosed on peri-menopausal ages. Even most of the women don’t have any problem with fibroma’s during their pregnancy, there is an increasing data about some complications in the literature. Here, we presented a case report women 33 years old at 20^th week of gestation, admitted to our clinic with acute and colic abdominal pain with healthy fetus and growing fibroma. To our knowledge this is the first case report revealed that severe pain of fibroma can be treated with selected analgesics and it can spontaneously regress after the degeneration phase.
