[Myoma in pregnancy--a case report and a literature review].

We report the complications of uterine leiomyomas during pregnancy in a case report and a review of the literature. The major complication is the syndrome of painful myomas. Other problems are premature labor, abruptio placentae and postpartum hemorrhage. The method of delivery seems not to be influenced by uterine myomas. Leiomyomas are no contraindication for pregnancy, but intensive antenatal care is advised.
