Abstract
Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an extremely rare condition characterized by abnormal connections between veins and arteries. The atypical clinical manifestations and relatively low morbidity of AVM are conducive to missed diagnosis. The present study describes a case of a 47-year-old female patient with congenital uterine AVM followed by iatrogenic AVM. The diagnosis was established by contrast-enhanced ultrasound combined with contrast-enhanced CT (CECT). Because the symptom of vaginal bleeding was severe, trophoblastic disease or neoplasia could be preferred. The manifestations on various imaging examinations were carefully assessed, and the relevant literature was also reviewed.Entities:
