Abstract
BACKGROUND
Hysteromyoma is not a rare tumor among pregnant women. During pregnancy, the symptoms caused by hysteromyoma can be improved through conservative treatment in most cases. However, in order to ensure the safety of mothers and children, surgeries are necessary in some special cases.
CASE SUMMARY
We report a case of pregnancy complicated with hysteromyoma red degeneration. The patient had peritonitis after sudden abdominal pain during the 20th week of pregnancy. Laparoscopic exploration suggested rupture and bleeding of hysteromyoma, which were improved after drainage and an anti-inflammatory treatment. A cesarean section was performed after full term. This case shows the complications of rupture after red degeneration of hysteromyoma during pregnancy.
CONCLUSION
We should be alert to rupture of hysteromyoma during pregnancy, and active laparoscopic exploration is essential to improve the prognosis of such patients.
Core Tip: We report a case of pregnancy complicated with rupture and bleeding of hysteromyoma and review the diagnosis and treatment strategies for acute abdominal conditions associated with hysteromyoma in pregnancy with a view to providing a reference for clinical practice.
