    Author: Dahan MH, Ahmadi R.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 2002 May; 47(5):419-20. PubMed ID: 12063882.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Patient age, parity and leiomyoma size are considered risks for venous rupture overlying a leiomyoma. CASE: A 28-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and decreasing hematocrit from spontaneous rupture of a uterine leiomyoma vein. CONCLUSION: Congestion of a vein overlying a leiomyoma, irrespective of the patient's age or parity or size of the leiomyoma, is a risk factor for rupture.
