“…The torsion of pediculated subserosal fibroid is already a complication, but it can be more complicated. The complications found in the literature are a volvulus of the small intestine [12,13]; an auto-amputation of the fibroid realizing a foreign body responsible for peritonitis [3].

We report a case of torsion of a pedunculated uterine leiomyoma. A 34-year-old housewife has been received at gynaecological emergency department for acute pelvic pain in June 2016. A pelvic ultrasound revealed a uterine with a pedunculated mass. With a preoperative diagnosis of torsion of a pedunculated subserosal leiomyoma, the patient underwent a myomectomy. In conclusion, torsion of a pedunculated uterine myoma is rare but represents a surgical emergency.

RESUMENLos miomas uterinos son las tumoraciones genitales más frecuentes cuyo tratamiento más habitual es el quirúrgico. Actualmente existe un tratamiento médico eficaz para reducir su volumen y la clínica asociada que es el acetato de ulipristal (AU), que es un modulador selectivo de los receptores de la progesterona. A nivel endometrial puede ocasionar cambios histológicos que cuando son muy marcados plantean dudas diagnósticas. Se presenta el caso de una paciente con útero miomatoso sintomático bajo tratamiento con AU, la histología en las muestras de biopsia planteó el diagnóstico diferencial con adenocarcinoma de endometrio. SUMMARYUterine fibroids are the most common genital tumors and the most common treatment is surgery. Actually there is an effective medical treatment to reduce its volume and the symptoms. It is ulipristal acetate (UA), a selective progesterone receptor modulator. In the endometrium it can cause some peculiar histological changes. We present a patient with symptomatic uterine fibroid with UA, and it was difficult to make differential diagnosis with endometrial cancer. INTRODUCCIÓNLos miomas uterinos o leiomiomas son los tumores más comunes de la mujer. Son de naturaleza benigna, derivan del músculo liso y tienen dependencia hormonal. Aparecen frecuentemente en la perimenopausia, de tal manera que después de los 40 años una de cada dos mujeres tienen miomas. Cuando son sintomáticos causan sangrado uterino que puede secundariamente provocar anemia, dismenorrea, dolor pélvico y otra sintomatología por compresión como poliaquiuria o tenesmo rectal. Por todo ello los leiomiomas son causa de una merma en la calidad de vida de la mujer y por ello un motivo frecuente de consulta ginecológica (1,2).El tratamiento más habitual para los miomas sintomáticos sigue siendo hoy en día la cirugía, bien sea conservando el útero o realizando una histerectomía. Teniendo en cuenta su dependencia hormonal en ocasiones se utilizan los análogos de la GnRH como tratamiento preoperatorio para disminuir su volumen y mejorar la anemia de las pacientes, sin embargo, sus importantes efectos adversos hacen que su utilidad sea limitada.El acetato de ulipristal (AU) es un modulador REV CHIL OBSTET GINECOL 2016; 81(2): 113 -116

“…5.4 to 77% of women have myomas, depending on the study population and races of the population. 6 It is seen that in USA, the prevalence of the uterine fibroids was 60% at the age of 35, which increased to more than 80% by the age of 50 years among the African American women. However, the incidence ws observed to be lesser in Caucasian women, where the incidence was 40% by age 35, and almost 70% by age 50.…”

Background: Uterine fibroids, also known as Leiomyoma, are the most common benign neoplasm in the female genital tract and originate from the myometrium´s smooth muscle. Although the uterine fibroids are diagnosed frequently, the prevalence of it in the local populations is unknown. Therefore, this study was done to observe the prevalence of the fibroids in our geographic area. Methods: 4487 women aged between 18-50 years who came to our gynec OPD out of which 522 were positive for the presence of fibroids, were included into the study. Ultrasound examination was done for all the patients. During this examination, the uterine dimensions and the structure were assessed. The number of the fibroids were counted and noted. Biopsy sample was taken from the fibroids and sent to pathology lab for further histological examination. Results: Out of the 4487 patients included into the study, 11.6% had fibroids. The predominant age group which was positive the presence of fiberoids was 40-59 years. 59.8% of them were married while 40.2% were either unmarried or divorced or widowed. The body mass index for most of them was within the normal range (60.3%), while some were slightly overweight. The most common cause of the patients to seek medical advice was menstrual disorder (37.7%) which included heavy, irregular or no periods. Conclusions: Fibroids was significantly associated with age, married marital status, overweight, pregnancy, menopause, childbirth and the presence of menorrhagia. Early detection would help in early management and thereby reduce the morbidity.
