Özet

Background: Uterine leiomyomas are rarely seen in adolescent and to date nine leiomyoma cases have been reported under age 17. Eight of these have been treated surgically via laparotomic myomectomy. Case: A 16-year-old girl presented with a painless, lobulated necrotic mass protruding through the introitus. The mass originated from posterior uterine wall resected using hysteroscopy. Final pathology report revealed a submucous uterine leiomyoma. Summary and Conclusion: Submucous uterine leiomyomas may present as a vaginal mass in adolescents and can be safely treated using hysteroscopy. © 2011 North American Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology.
