Abstract

Uterine fibroids, known as leiomyomas, are very common benign uterine tumors; they occur in 60% of women before the age of 40 and in 80% before the age of 50. There are several clinical and surgical therapeutic options being the hysterectomy the definitive and effective treatment.

We are presenting the clinical case of a 45-year-old patient of Afro-Ecuadorian ethnicity with a highly developed uterine fibroid that weighted 10,195 grams and occupied the entire abdominal cavity affecting her quality of life. The present case constitutes the first report of a benign giant uterine fibroid in the Gynecology service of Eugenio Espejo Hospital. Its surgical removal was challenging, however, taking precautions and trying to avoid complications we obtained favorable results after the intervention. There are few cases reported in the Ecuadorian literature up to date, being this case is the most important fibroid described.
