Current researchers provide a strong association between the rising concentrations of ambient pollutants and the adverse health impact. Furthermore, the pollutants have the adverse effects upon reproductive health as well. Major concern is for the health of a pregnant woman and her baby. Maternal-fetal inflammatory response due to the pollutants affects the pregnancy outcome adversely.

We report here the case of a 51-year-old female patient presenting with a huge pseudo-broad ligament fibroid and rare blood group phenotype. Initial serological testing during preoperative workup of the said case revealed BG discrepancies characterized by the O group on cell typing with an extra reaction with pooled 'O' cells on serum typing. A pan-agglutination pattern in antibody screening coupled with a negative direct antiglobulin test and auto-control indicated a Bombay or para-Bombay phenotype. Use of anti-H lectin, saliva secretor study, and antibody screening with cord O cells (Oi) aided in identifying para-Bombay phenotype. Transfusion support in this patient was challenging due to the presence of an anti-IH antibody acting at 37°. One of the major challenges to perioperative care was the unavailability of compatible donor blood units. An autologous transfusion approach was therefore adopted. After the uneventful surgical excision of the fibroid with minimal intraoperative blood loss, one unit of autologous blood was transfused to the patient. This case exemplifies the importance of comprehensive pre-transfusion testing and meticulous planning for patients with rare blood group phenotypes in order to minimize the risk of transfusion reactions and optimize surgical outcomes.
