Article Abstract

Uterine leiomyomas are benign tumors that develop from smooth muscle tissue and are present in up to 77% of women in menacme. They are often asymptomatic but can cause pelvic pain, compression, abnormal uterine bleeding, and degeneration. We present the first case report of a perimenopausal woman who exhibited complete and spontaneous expulsion of uterine fibroids without embolization or use of medication. She complained of a mass extruding from the vaginal orifice associated with bleeding and pain for a couple of hours. The anatomopathological findings showed a myomatous lesion. Complete expulsion of a uterine fibroid is a rare condition that may be associated with profuse hemorrhage and can pose a risk to the patient. When it occurs during perimenopause, it can mimic several clinical conditions. Therefore, gynecologists must remain alert to make the correct diagnosis and treatment.

Introduction: Achieving stone-free status (SFS) is a key goal of endourological treatment, yet definitions of SFS and clinically insignificant residual fragments (CIRF) remain controversial. While CIRF is frequently defined as residual fragments ≤4 mm, there is no consensus on its clinical significance regarding complications and re-intervention needs. We evaluate the risk of complications and the need for re-intervention associated with the presence of CIRF following endourological treatment for urolithiasis.

Rationale: The clinical symptoms and signs of lung cancer patients during pregnancy are not specific, making early clinical diagnosis difficult. The unique physiological and pathological changes in pregnant women significantly increase the risk of pulmonary embolism during pregnancy, but its diagnosis is more challenging compared to nonpregnant patients.

Patient Concerns: This article reports a case of a pregnant woman with lung cancer misdiagnosed as pulmonary embolism, ultimately leading to severe conditions requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment.
