Abstract

A 25-year-old married nulliparous female with suspected fibroid uterus was admitted to the emergency ward with complaints of heaviness in the pelvic region, increased uterine bleeding for the past year, and torrential bleeding episodes. She was clinically very pale and presented with shock symptoms in an emergency. Conservative management with a blood transfusion was performed. Radiological imaging revealed a fibroid uterus with gross cystic degeneration. Her nulliparous state necessitated an abdominal myomectomy. However, the planes were not well-defined, and the cystic fluid was profuse; therefore, the final diagnosis was inconclusive. Her histopathology report revealed a uterine smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP).
