title: Uterine angioleiomyoma complicated by consumptive coagulopathy.
abstract: ► We present a rare case of consumptive coagulopathy secondary to a large degenerated uterine angioleiomyoma. ► Pathological examination showed features of angioleiomyoma, which are rarely found in the uterus. ► After removal of the neoplasm, the patient's consumptive coagulopathy, along with her vaginal bleeding, subsequently resolved.
