Resumen
CASADO MENDEZ, Pedro Rafael et al. Septic Necrobiosis of Uterine Fibroma. Rev Cubana Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2018, vol.44, n.4, pp. 1-8. ISSN 1561-3062.
Myomas or fibroids are benign tumors that frequently appear in the uterus, and although they can sometimes be asymptomatic, in many women they are the most common reason for gynecological interventions. Some authors consider that the cause is unknown. Others give value to the maintained or increased estrogenic stimulus, which activates the embryonic cell, mesodermal and genitoblasts that respond to this stimulus. We present the case of a complicated uterine fibroid with a septic necrobiosis diagnosed in a 63-year-old patient. Ultrasonography is of vital importance in the diagnosis when there is suspicion of this type of tumor and its complications.
