ABSTRACT This case of 21 years old primigravida with 28 weeks pregnancy with a massive lower uterine fibroid is unique because of the classical cesarean section and spontaneous degeneration and expulsion of the fibroid which is a rarity.

Uterine fibroid are benign tumors that consist most of the tumor occurrences in pelvic cavity of women. Possible courses of treatment include: medicament treatment, surgical and new intra-arterial embolisation method. The aim of the paper is to present achieved results in intra-arterial embolisation treatment of Uterine fibroid. Material and methods: A prospective study was performed in the period from October 2007 until October 2008. It included 36 women with symptomatic uterine fibroid. They were treated by intra-arterial embolisation. All patients had control MRI examinations after treatment. Embolisation was performed by 'cross-over' technique, using bilateral punction of femoral arteries, a selective catheterization a. uterine, and application of 750-900m Bead Blocks. Results: Average age of patients was 38.5 years. The most of fibroids had intramural localization (39%). solitary fibroids were seen in 56% of patients, multiple in 44%. Gynecological hemorrhage was the leading symptom with 34 patients (94%). One year after receiving intra-arterial embolisation treatment, fibroid regression of 50% was registered in all patients. There were no serious complications noted in our study, with the exception of postembolisation syndrome which occurred in 11 (30%) patients in a relatively mild form Conclusion: Intra-arterial embolisation of uterine fibroma is a method that in large percent of patients removes symptoms of uterine fibroma presence, prevents its growth, and safely helps women enter menopause when activity of hormone dependant tumor ceases.

ABSTRACT Uterine fibroids are a common indication for hysterectomy or myomectomy. Even with optimal preoperative imaging, unexpected uterine sarcoma can be detected in histopathology after uterine fibroid surgery. In case of inadvertent morcellation of an unexpected uterine sarcoma the clinical outcomes, due to the rapid intraperitoneal dissemination of malignant tissue during the procedure can be negatively influenced. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of uterine sarcoma in women undergoing hysterectomy or myomectomy for benign uterine fibroids. We performed retrospective study (2003-2014 years). The total number of women operated for uterine fibroids was 2297. Of this, 938 (42.5%) women had myomectomies and 1269 (57.5%) women had hysterectomies. In myomectomies the most frequently used surgical method was laparoscopic myomectomy in 591(63%) cases, followed by hysteroscopy myomectomy in 306 (32.62%) cases, and laparotomic myomectomy only in 41 (4.37%) cases. In hysterectomies, laparoscopic approaches significantly dominated in 1163 (61.1%) cases, showing laparotomic approaches in 491(25.82%) cases and vaginal approaches in 247 (12.99) cases. Only one patient with endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) was not preoperatively diagnosed and treated as symptomatic uterine fibroid; this patient underwent laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy. In the post-operative histopathological examination ESS was detected. Thus, our incidence of sarcomas among women who underwent benign uterine fibroid surgery is 1/2297 (0,043%). Laparoscopic power morcellation should be performed only in cases with no suspicion of malignancy Patients, who undergo laparoscopic surgery with power morcellation should be informed about the possible risks of morcellation in cases of rare not suspected malignant disease.
