The natural history of uterine leiomyomas during pregnancy has been reported.
A 39-year-old primigravida presented with vaginal spotting in the 10th week of pregnancy. Ultrasonic evaluation revealed a large intramural leiomyoma. Unsuccessful tocolysis at 25 weeks' gestation resulted in a cesarean section for breech presentation. At hysterotomy a 10-cm intramural leiomyoma was found in the right fundus and was left in situ. Six months later, at open laparotomy for myomectomy, the 10-cm leiomyoma was pedunculated, on a 4-cm stalk.
Large intramural leiomyomas found at cesarean section may become pedunculated postpartally, thus making myomectomy easier and safer at a postpartum intervention than at the time of cesarean section. Also, prior knowledge of the possibility of myoma transformation from intramural to pedunculated postpartally may help in planning a later myomectomy. Myomectomy prior to pregnancy should be considered when it has caused a prior pregnancy complication.
已有关于妊娠期间子宫平滑肌瘤自然病史的报道。
一名39岁初产妇,在妊娠第10周出现阴道点滴出血。超声检查发现一个大的肌壁间平滑肌瘤。妊娠25周时,保胎治疗失败,因臀位行剖宫产。剖宫产时发现右侧宫底有一个10厘米的肌壁间平滑肌瘤,予以原位保留。6个月后,行开腹子宫肌瘤切除术时,这个10厘米的平滑肌瘤有蒂,蒂长4厘米。
剖宫产时发现的大肌壁间平滑肌瘤产后可能会带蒂,因此与剖宫产时相比,产后进行子宫肌瘤切除术更容易、更安全。此外,事先了解肌瘤产后可能从肌壁间转变为带蒂的情况,有助于规划后续的子宫肌瘤切除术。当肌瘤此前已导致妊娠并发症时,应考虑在妊娠前进行子宫肌瘤切除术。
