The Impact of a Huge Fibroid on Pregnancy: A Case Report

Uterine fibroids are benign smooth muscle tumors of the uterus, are relatively common in reproductive-age women, and are associated with increasing maternal age. This case study details a 37-year-old female patient who was incidentally diagnosed with a larger lower segment fibroid during her first pregnancy scan and responded well to treatment, delivered by a cesarian due to transverse lie and lower uterine segment fibroid completely obstructing the birth canal.

Abstract

Uterine fibroids are benign smooth muscle tumors of the uterus, are relatively common in reproductive-age women, and are associated with increasing maternal age. This case study details a 37-year-old female patient who was incidentally diagnosed with a larger lower segment fibroid during her first pregnancy scan and responded well to treatment, delivered by a cesarian due to transverse lie and lower uterine segment fibroid completely obstructing the birth canal.
