Abstract

The combination of fibroma and pregnancy presents many maternal complications, ranging from simple pelvic pain to digestive, urinary and hemodynamic complications. Fetal complications range from the threat of preterm delivery to fetal loss. Management is usually surgical and termination of pregnancy may be indicated. We report the case of a 35-year-old  nulliparous pregnant woman, within her 18th week of amenorrhea, who presented to us with a picture of profoundly altered general condition following compressive complications from a giant uterine fibroma.
