Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Polycythemia is a rare paraneoplastic phenomenon associated with benign and malignant tumors, including uterine leiomyomas. Few cases of secondary erythrocytosis due to erythropoietin (EPO)-producing fibroids have been reported. Tumor resection is the mainstay of treatment for paraneoplastic polycythemia.
CASE: We describe a 44-year-old woman who presented with a large uterine mass and elevated hemoglobin and hematocrit. Evaluation included elevated serum EPO level. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and lymphadenectomy for bulky adenopathy. Final histopathology confirmed a benign leiomyoma. Following surgery, HGB level normalized.
CONCLUSION: Although uncommon, EPO-secreting uterine fibroids should be considered in the differential for erythrocytosis, particularly when other causes are not evident.
