Abstract

Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign pelvic tumors in women. In rare cases, submucous leiomyomas may prolapse through the cervical canal into the vagina; these are referred to as nascent leiomyomas. The standard surgical treatment is transvaginal myomectomy, although hysteroscopic management may be required when complete removal of the pedicle base cannot be safely achieved by the vaginal route alone. We report the case of a 36-year-old nulligravid woman presenting with hypermenorrhea, pelvic pain, and fatigue, in whom a large prolapsed pedunculated submucous leiomyoma measuring 8 × 8 × 7 cm was managed using a hybrid approach. The prolapsed mass was first removed transvaginally, and the residual pedicle base was subsequently resected by operative hysteroscopy using a bipolar system. Histopathological examination confirmed a leiomyoma with degenerative changes. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and follow-up transvaginal ultrasonography at 1, 3, and 6 months showed no gynecological abnormality. The patient also reported resolution of symptoms and improvement in menstrual pattern during follow-up. This case highlights that, in selected patients with large prolapsed pedunculated submucous leiomyomas, a hybrid approach combining transvaginal myomectomy with operative hysteroscopic pedicle resection may facilitate complete removal while preserving the uterus and minimizing surgical morbidity.

Özet

Uterin leiomyomlar kadınlarda en sık görülen benign pelvik tümörlerdir. Nadir olgularda submukoz leiomyomlar servikal kanaldan vajene prolabe olabilir ve bu lezyonlar “nascent leiomyom” olarak adlandırılır. Standart cerrahi tedavi transvajinal miyomektomidir; ancak bazı olgularda pedikül tabanının tam ve güvenli şekilde çıkarılması için histeroskopik yaklaşım gerekebilir. Bu olgu sunumunda, hipermenore, pelvik ağrı ve halsizlik yakınmaları ile başvuran 36 yaşındaki nulligravid bir kadında 8 × 8 × 7 cm boyutlarında büyük prolabe pedinküllü submukoz leiomyomun hibrit bir yaklaşımla tedavisi sunulmuştur. Prolabe kitle önce transvajinal olarak çıkarılmış, ardından rezidüel pedikül tabanı bipolar sistem kullanılarak operatif histeroskopi ile rezeke edilmiştir. Histopatolojik inceleme dejeneratif değişiklikler içeren leiomyomu doğrulamıştır. Postoperatif dönem sorunsuz seyretmiş, 1., 3. ve 6. ay transvajinal ultrasonografik kontrollerde jinekolojik patoloji saptanmamıştır. Ayrıca hastanın semptomlarında gerileme ve adet düzeninde düzelme izlenmiştir. Bu olgu, uygun seçilmiş hastalarda büyük prolabe pedinküllü submukoz leiomyomların yönetiminde transvajinal miyomektomi ile operatif histeroskopik pedikül rezeksiyonunu birleştiren hibrit yaklaşımın, uterus korunarak tam eksizyon sağlanmasına ve cerrahi morbiditenin azaltılmasına katkı sağlayabileceğini göstermektedir.
