Background:
Uterine fibroids are a common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding in adult women, but are extremely rare in the adolescent years.
Case:
A 12-year-old nulliparous girl presented with abnormal uterine bleeding and was found to have a prolapsing submucosal fibroid. The fibroid and her symptoms were successfully removed using an Endosnare.
Summary And Conclusion:
The most common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding in adolescent bleeding is due to anovulation. Though rare, fibroids should remain on the differential as the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding in the adolescent population, particularly if symptoms persist despite initial therapy. Fibroids can be managed successfully with minimally invasive techniques.
