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.
