Unusual case of coexisting large intramyometrial anterior uterine wall leiomyoma with term pregnancy.

Leiomyomas are the most common benign smooth muscle tumors of the uterus. The incidence during pregnancy ranges between 1.6 to 10%. The management of fibroids encountered during caesarean section poses a therapeutic dilemma. We present a case of giant anterior wall leiomyoma complicating term pregnancy which posed a great surgical challenge. We didn't go for myomectomy in the same setting because the patient was primigravida and leiomyoma occupied complete anterior wall of the uterus, an attempt of myomectomy could result in profuse uncontrollable bleeding.
