Huge Uterine Fibroid Complicating Early Pregnancy:
Myomectomy and Live Birth at TermAziken ME1, Osemwenkha AP2, Orhue AAE3,
Afinotan LU4, Osughe OM5, Irihogbe I6ABSTRACT
Uterine fibroids are the commonest tumours of the female genital tract with a prevalence varying from 20-50% in women of reproductive age. Surgical management by myomectomy is limited to the non pregnant uterus. Fibroid coexisting with pregnancy may be associated with complication in 10-30% of cases which are preferably often managed conservatively.
We present a case of huge uterine fibroid in early pregnancy with significant complication that necessitated myomectomy at 10 weeks gestation in a 37 year old nullipara in which pregnancy continued till successful delivery at 38 weeks gestation.
KEY WORDS: Fibroids, Pregnancy, Myomectomy, Live birth.
