Retained products of conception with uterine arteriovenous malformation: A case report
This case illustrates the diagnostic difficulties posed by the coexistence of UAVM and rPOC, particularly due to their shared hypervascular imaging characteristics. Persistent collateral perfusion may limit the effectiveness of uterine artery embolization in such mixed lesions. Uterine-sparing surgery can provide both definitive hemostasis and histopathological confirmation when embolization fails. Early recognition of rPOC-associated UAVM is crucial for guiding individualized management and for preserving reproductive potential in affected women.
