Abstract

Leiomyoma is the most common estrogen dependent benign tumour of the uterus occurring in the reproductive age. It is composed of smooth muscle and fibrous tissue. Asymptomatic myomas can be present in 50% of cases. It causes mainly menstrual problems like menorrhagia, metorrhagia, dysmenorrhoea and also infertility. Nowadays it is very rare to get huge myomas because most of the patients for any vague, trivial complaints undergoes scan, which picks up even very small myomas. We are presenting a very huge fibroid causing hernia in a patient 48years old P3L3 who developed hernia, following puerperal sterilization done. She had a hernia repair done 20 years ago. Now she developed recurrent hernia due to the huge abdominal mass 22x22cms of a parasitic fibroid. She was taken up for laporotomy. The mass was removed in addition total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo oophorectomy was done. This case is presented here because of its rarity and its management was quite tough-a Herculean task of course.
