Pyomyoma (suppurative leiomyoma of the uterus) is a rare condition associated with a high fatality rate. Only surgical intervention is lifesaving. It usually develops in association with either recent pregnancy or in postmenopausal patients who have underlying vascular disease. Since 1945 only 15 cases of pyomyoma have been reported in the literature. We present a rare case of pyomyoma in a 64-year-old woman with a brief review of the literature.
脓性子宫肌瘤(子宫化脓性平滑肌瘤)是一种罕见疾病,病死率很高。只有手术干预才能挽救生命。它通常与近期妊娠有关,或发生于患有潜在血管疾病的绝经后患者。自1945年以来,文献中仅报道了15例脓性子宫肌瘤病例。我们报告一例64岁女性脓性子宫肌瘤的罕见病例,并对文献进行简要回顾。
