ABSTRACT

Background: The uterine leiomyomas are the most common gynecological benign tumors in fertile females; however, they are very rare in adolescents (less than 1%) and there are only a few reports in the literature.
Clinic case: A 16-year-old patient with a fast-growing suprapubic tumor, accompanied by generalized abdominal pain, sent to the hospital with diagnosis of pelvic tumor probable uterine miomatosis, to rule out malignant tumor. Pelvic ultrasound was performed with a report of multiple disseminated hypoechoic lesions in myometrium giving appearance of metastasis, without being the characteristic images of myomas, pelvic abdominal tomography reported hepatomegaly of the left lobe, intramural leiomyomas of medium and large elements, tumor markers within normal limits. The laparotomy was performed, left intraligamentary myoma of giant elements was located; and the histopathological study reported uterine leiomyoma of conventional histological pattern.
Conclusions: The clinical of leiomyomas in adolescent patients represents a challenge for the gynecologist. The age, symptomatology, and preservation of reproductive function are important aspects to decide the therapeutic regimen.
