Resumen

SANTANA PEDRAZA, Tahiluma; ESTEPA PEREZ, Jorge  y  MARTIN ENTENZA, José. Giant Uterine Fibromyoma. A Case Report. Medisur [online]. 2013, vol.11, n.6, pp.701-706. ISSN 1727-897X.

The uterus is the common site for multiple benign and malignant conditions. Giant uterine fibromyoma is a benign tumor of low incidence. Its management poses a challenge for the surgical team because of the volume of the surgical specimen and the variations in the distribution of intra-abdominal organs caused by uterine growth. A case of a 43-year-old patient with a history of bronchial asthma and hypertension who presented with enlargement of the abdomen and vaginal bleeding is reported. The patient was attended by the General Surgery Department of the María Genoveva Guerrero Ramos Comprehensive Diagnostic Center in the Libertador Municipality, Capital District, Venezuela. Total abdominal hysterectomy and complementary appendectomy were performed. The histopathological study showed a giant uterine fibromyoma. Postoperative progress was satisfactory. It was decided to present the case due to its rarity.

Palabras clave : leiomyoma; uterine neoplasms; case reports.
