Abstract

Uterine leiomyomas are benign growth arising from smooth muscle cells of uterine myometrium and it the most common neoplasms of the uterus. Multiple myomas are common and usually cause diagnostic and therapeutic problems due to their size, clinical features, and degeneration. Their diagnosis is usually not missed due to wide spread use of ultrasound in gynecological department. In this article, we present a multiple myoma case in a 39 years old woman who presented with heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged menstrual cycle, anemia, and dysmenorrhea for six months. Physical and radiological examination revealed the presence of multiple masses arising from the uterus. Myomectomy was done for the same (multiple fibroids enucleated). Histological examination confirmed the same. The patient's postoperative period was uneventful and she was discharged after 4 days and followed up after 2 months.
