Abstract:
A 54-year-old woman had an expulsed myoma 10 weeks after uterine artery embolization. After treatment with antibiotics and a small surgical intervention, she recovered completely without any sign of myomatous disease afterwards. Patients should be informed about the possibility of expulsion. Expulsion of myomas after uterine artery embolization occurs relatively frequently and may be just one of the ways to attain cure.
