Abstract
Uterine fibroids, or myomas, are benign tumors affecting about 68.6% of women, with Indonesia's Hasan Sadikin Hospital reporting a prevalence between 2.4% and 12.46%. In pregnancy, the incidence drops to 0.1% to 10.7%, but fibroids can still lead to complications. This case study highlights the successful management of a complex pregnancy with multiple large uterine fibroids. A 36- to 37-week primigravida presented with a large intramural fibroid (20 × 15 × 10 cm) at the uterine fundus and six smaller fibroids in the anterior corpus. Despite these challenges, the pregnancy progressed without major issues. A cesarean section was performed, delivering a healthy baby weighing 2,815 g and measuring 46 cm. The case demonstrates effective management of a difficult obstetric situation, emphasizing the importance of tailored care and surgical skill in achieving favorable outcomes for both mother and baby.
