OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of uterine pseudoaneurysm after laparoscopic myomectomy in a 36-year-old woman. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT(S): A 36-year-old woman, 3 months after laparoscopic myomectomy, presenting with an intrauterine hypoechoic lesion measuring 5 cm in diameter. INTERVENTION(S): Uterine pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasound. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Complete resolution of the pseudoaneurysm. RESULT(S): Spontaneous thrombosis was observed in the pseudoaneurysm. At 6-month follow-up, the uterus appeared normal. CONCLUSION(S): Our case presents the possibility of delayed occurrence of uterine pseudoaneurysm after laparoscopic myomectomy.
