Massive Leiomyomata and Severe Endometriosis Resulting in a Frozen Pelvis in an Asymptomatic Patient.

Leiomyomas, also known as uterine fibroids, are the most common benign uterine tumors in women. The most frequently reported symptoms are uterine bleeding and abdominal and/or pelvic pressure; however, most cases are asymptomatic and may be found incidentally. Endometriosis is a condition where the endometrium proliferates outside of the uterine cavity. Extrauterine endometrial implants are usually found in the ovaries, pelvis, and peritoneum, but can extend anywhere throughout the body. Women with endometriosis may exhibit dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dyschezia, and infertility. Inflammation caused by endometriosis may lead to fibrosis, scarring, and adhesions. We report a case of an asymptomatic 36-year-old African-American woman with increasing abdominal girth, consistent with a 28-week gestation, presenting to her obstetrician/gynecologist for her annual exam, who on further investigation is found to have multiple large fibroids, bilateral ovarian cysts, and widespread endometriosis with several adhesions ultimately leading to a frozen pelvis.
