Dr. Elizabeth Joseph,
Vascular tumours like haemangioma do occur in uterus but are rare with fewer than 60 cases in literature; among them only 3 cases have been reported in post-menopausal females. Though they can be found at all levels of the uterine wall, including the serosa, myometrium and endometrium, most cases usually involve the myometrium diffusely and are associated with numerous obstetric and gynaecological complications, ranging from inter-menstrual spotting, menometrorrhagia, infertility and maternal/foetal demise from pronounced bleeding of the gravid uterus.1-4 Here we present a rare case of localized uterine haemangioma in a post-menopausal lady with a history of fibroid, abnormal uterine bleeding and low backache.
