Abstract:
Leiomyoma is the most common benign uterine tumor, but acute torsion of myoma is extremely rare. We experienced two patients admitted to our hospital for acute abdominal pain, who diagnosed with torsion of subserosal myoma. Although ultrasonogram revealed a subserosal myoma in both cases, it could not confirm torsion of uterine fibroid. Laparoscopic surgery confirmed the diagnosis of acute torsion of myoma and resected the lesion successfully.
