Confronting perimenopausal women’s knowledge of coronary heart disease with their health behaviours. Controversial role of hormone replacement therapy in the protection of coronary heart disease
This report presents the case of a 38-year-old woman with an uncomplicated intrauterine device in the uterine cavity diagnosed with a rapidly progressing, nascent myoma of cervical origin, finally managed by abdominal hysterectomy. The observation is unique due to the demonstration of a rapid tumour growth pace in a 2-year interval, documented by transvaginal ultrasound scans, evolution of its vascularisation with a consistent high resistance index measured by spectral Doppler, unusual (cervical) primary location with no myometrial cells shedding during the aspiration biopsy, nascent character behaviour while being non-pedunculated, coexistence with an intrauterine device, and the approach to definite clinical management after failure of the attempt to perform a vaginal myomectomy. The study points out obstacles in obtaining reassurance of a benign character of rapidly progressing tumours of mesenchymal origin before surgery.
