Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors that may cause an umbilical hernia in patients with increased intra-abdominal pressure due to pregnancy, obesity, ascites, and intra-abdominal tumors. However, the simultaneous occurrence of uterine fibroids and umbilical hernias, or fibroids and an associated umbilical hernia, during pregnancy has rarely been reported. Here, we present the case of a fibroid presenting as an incarcerated umbilical hernia in a menopausal patient.
子宫肌瘤是常见的良性肿瘤,在因妊娠、肥胖、腹水及腹腔内肿瘤导致腹内压升高的患者中,可能会引起脐疝。然而,妊娠期间子宫肌瘤与脐疝同时出现,或肌瘤与相关脐疝同时出现的情况鲜有报道。在此,我们报告一例绝经后患者,子宫肌瘤表现为嵌顿性脐疝的病例。
