Cureus. 2024 Oct 17;16(10):e71688. doi: 10.7759/cureus.71688. eCollection 2024 Oct.

Abstract

Uterine fibroids are benign smooth muscle tumors of the uterus, are relatively common in reproductive-age women, and are associated with increasing maternal age. This case study details a 37-year-old female patient who was incidentally diagnosed with a larger lower segment fibroid during her first pregnancy scan and responded well to treatment, delivered by a cesarian due to transverse lie and lower uterine segment fibroid completely obstructing the birth canal.

Keywords: obstetric outcome; pregnancy; transverse lie; ultrasound; uterine fibroid.
