Abstract
BACKGROUND: Deep vein thrombosis is a rare complication of myoma uteri. There have been few reports on this association. CASE: A 42-year-old woman presented with a myoma uteri, 24 weeks in size, that had compressed the pelvic veins and caused unilateral deep vein thrombosis of the left leg. After anticoagulation therapy, a total abdominal hysterectomy was performed, with an uneventful recovery. CONCLUSION: Although deep vein thrombosis associated with myoma uteri is a rare event, it can be managed successfully with anticoagulants and hysterectomy. Myoma uteri with deep vein thrombosis is an indication for hysterectomy.
