ABSTRACT

Giant uterine fibromyoma is a benign condition which has a very low incidence. Its management poses a challenge for the surgical team due to the volume of the surgical specimen and the variations in the distribution of the intra-abdominal organs caused by the uterine growth. The case of a 29-year-old patient misdiagnosed with giant hepatomegaly at admission is presented. Her symptoms included hard abdomen and feeling of heaviness. Successful completion of the interview, physical examination and imaging studies led to the correct diagnosis of giant uterine fibromyoma. Surgical treatment was applied. A total abdominal hysterectomy was performed with satisfactory results. This case is presented to the medical community for teaching purposes and due to its rarity.
