THREE CASES OF UNUSUAL PRESENTATION OF FIBROID
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 35
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE Fibroid is the most common solid, hypoechoic mass in pelvic region which we see on ultrasonography in reproductive age group, because almost 25% patients are asymptomatic. Fibroid is the common benign condition arising from smooth muscle cells.(1) When the tumour fills the whole pelvis or is pedunculated, there is always an uncertainty regarding the uterine or ovarian origin of the tumour. A cervical fibroid, especially with degenerative changes mimics an ovarian tumour and causes a clinical dilemma.(2) Fibroid is easy to diagnose and manage, but here we report successful management of cases of perimenopausal women with unusual finding of fibroid. Provisional diagnosis on basis of imaging and on per vaginal examination was showing uterine fibroid. Patients were posted for abdominal panhysterectomy. Such cases are exemplified for its rarity and diagnostic difficulty.
