| Popis: | Cases of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) related to the isolated risk factor of uterine myoma are very rare. In a setting of emergency department (ED), it is unlikely that uterine myoma would be suspected as the primary cause of symptoms in a patient with thromboembolism. We presented a 44-year-old woman who visited the ED for DVT presenting with right lower leg swelling with an underlying cause of a huge uterine myoma. Various aetiologies, including obstetric and gynaecological causes (especially uterine myoma), should be considered in female patients visiting the ED with suspected DVT or PTE. |
