Large lower segment myoma--myomectomy at lower segment caesarean section--a report of two cases.
Uterine leiomyoma is found in approximately 2% of pregnant women. One in ten women will have complications related to myoma in pregnancy. Myomectomy during pregnancy especially at Caesarean section is much discouraged in the literature. We present here 2 cases of large uterine myoma, situated in the anterior aspect of the lower segment, complicating pregnancy at term. Myomectomy in both instances allowed delivery of the fetus through the lower segment, making vaginal delivery in subsequent pregnancies possible.
