Uterine arteriovenous malformation: a case report with proposal for pathogenesis
Uterine arteriovenous malformation (UAM) is a rare medical condition. Even though UAM can cause abnormal and life-threatening uterine hemorrhage, there is no consensus on the clinical guideline on its treatments, most likely due to its low incidence, unknown etiology, and distinct fertility demands by different patients. Here, we present one elderly woman with uncommon UAM. We first discuss our experience regarding the diagnoses and treatments of UAM and then propose a hypothesis for the pathogenesis of UAM.
