Evaluation was notable for 12cm degenerated submucosal fibroid with superimposed infection consistent with pyomyoma. She failed a course of conservative treatment with IV antibiotics and underwent urgent myomectomy with vaginal debulking of delivering pyomyoma and hysteroscopic myomectomy with the resectoscope utilizing dilute vasopressin and temporary cervical cerclage to maintain fluid pressure. She underwent Lupron administration and interval myomectomy at 6 weeks with repeat hysteroscopic resection of the remaining 3.5cm myoma with 95% success. The second patient was a 46 yo G7P1142 who presented to clinic with leukorrhea, delivery of fibroid at home, and pelvic pain 6 months after uterine artery embolization. Preoperative imaging demonstrated 15cm uterus and a conglomeration of five 4-6cm FIGO type 0-2 fibroids. She underwent hysteroscopic myomectomy of the two most inferior fibroids with plans for postoperative Lupron and additional staged myomectomy.

Pregnancy and uterine artery embolization can incite fibroid degeneration with delivery of submucosal fibroids, and rarely subsequent infection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of minimally invasive gynecology","volume":"31 11","pages":"Pages S15-S16"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142658000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
