Resumo
Background: Uterine leiomyomas are not uncommon in adolescence; however, an unusual growth model, such as diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis (DUL), has been registered in single cases. The differential diagnosis of DUL is made with common multiple uterine leiomyomas and nodular adenomyosis. In view of the fact that the early diagnosis is difficult and there is no universal approach to the tactics of patient management, uterine masses frequently reach large sizes and motivate organ-removing operations.
Case report: The paper presents a review of literature data and an extremely rare clinical case of DUL in a 14-year-old girl. The patient visited a gynecologist with complaints of severe lower abdominal pain increasing in the last days of menstruation, which has been bothering her for the past year. She was suspected of diffuse nodular adenomyosis or multiple uterine myoma and was referred to be admitted to Gynecology Department Two, V.I. Kulakov National Medical Research Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Perinatology, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. The Department made an instrumental and laboratory additional study, diagnosed uterine leiomyomatosis and external genital endometriosis of the pelvic peritoneum, ruled out other sites of possible leiomyomatosis; oncomarkers were obtained within the reference values. The girl received surgical treatment (laparoscopy, adhesiolysis, removal of a subserous leiomyomatous node, corpus uteri biopsy, coagulation of the foci of external genital endometriosis, and diagnostic hysteroscopy. Morphological examination confirmed uterine leiomyomatosis with hyalinosis. Immunohistochemical study of a myometrial biopsy sample revealed that the expression of estrogen receptors was 3 scores and that of progesterone receptors was 4 scores (according to the Allred scale; that of the proliferation marker Ki-67 was 20%. The patient was discharged home; after 3 months during therapy with gestagens (norethisterone), pelvic organ ultrasound indicated no substantial changes in the uterine sizes. Therapy and a follow-up were continued.
Conclusion: DUL is extremely rare in pediatric practice and is frequently detected late, which determines the relevance of timely preventive examinations and early diagnosis in order to maximize the organ-sparing tactics of management.
