Case Report: Massive Ascites Complicating Uterine Fibroids:
Abstract
A rare case of massive ascites complicating uterine fibroid is presented. At presentation, she was emaciated with grossly distended abdomen and a mass, which corresponded to 36 weeks gestation. At operation a large soft mass attached to the uterus by fibrous strands and to the omentum by large dilated new vessels was seen. It weighed 4.5kg and histology confirmed a degenerated leiomyoma.
