[Myoma and pregnancy: when medical treatment is not sufficient].

The leiomyoma is the most common benign uterine tumor in population of childbearing age women. We report a patient case with uterine myomas threatening the pregnancy continuation and causing a real problem of maternal tolerance. In presence of a 22 cm subserosal fibroma which is responsible of a severe abdominal pain syndrome resistant to level 3 analgesics, the use of surgical treatment was considered, even if current recommendations are for an optimal medical management. Myomectomy by laparotomy has been performed after 13 weeks of gestation.
