Abstract:
Uterine myoma is a common condition among women, which may very rarely be associated with pelvic venous thrombosis. This manuscript reports the case of a 39-year-old patient who presented with ischaemic leg due to iliac vein thrombosis secondary to extrinsic compression by a small sized uterine myoma. Considering the high prevalence of myoma in the population, it is advisable to specifically consider this possibility in the case of female patients with pulmonary embolism or pelvic or limb venous thrombosis.
