Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Uterine fibroids are the most common gynecologic tumors in reproductive-aged women with a prevalence of up to 80%. Symptoms can range from heavy vaginal bleeding and bulk symptoms to, less frequently, deep vein thrombosis and bowel obstruction.
CASE DESCRIPTION: A 32-year-old female patient presented with acute-onset of right groin and knee pain, and difficulty ambulating. A large posterior uterine fibroid was found to be compressing branches of the lumbar plexus, including the obturator nerve. The patient underwent gynecologic evaluation and an urgent laparoscopic myomectomy. Postoperatively, she had significant improvement in neurologic symptoms. She continued physical therapy for residual mild paresthesia and pain with prolonged ambulation.
DISCUSSION: Large pelvic masses such as uterine fibroids should be considered on the differential diagnosis for acute-onset non-gynecologic symptoms such as compressive neuropathy, which require urgent evaluation and possible surgical management.
