A Case of Torsion of a Pedunculated Subserosal Uterine Leiomyoma Accompanied with Acute Gastroenteritis: a Possible Diagnostic Pitfall
نویسندگان
چکیده
A literature search on acute abdomen caused by a leiomyoma does not yield many specifi c reports of myoma-related complications or the presenting features. We describe a case of torsion of a pedunculated subserosal uterine leiomyoma in a 25-year-old virgin female who noticed lower abdominal pain with severe diarrhea, which was assumed to be typical acute gastroenteritis undoubtedly. Awareness of the condition and a high index of suspicion are keys to early diagnosis and prompt intervention. A description of unique clinical features and radiologic evaluation is discussed.
