Uterine arteriovenous malformation necessitating hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in a young pregnant patient

Abstract

This case report describes a 31-year-old woman at 8 weeks' gestation with large arteriovenous malformation of the uterus involving bilateral uterine and ovarian arteries. She had a history of multiple pregnancy losses, as well as spontaneous copious vaginal hemorrhage. The patient underwent an embolization procedure followed by total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The uterus was very small (30 g) despite its gravid status, and the overall microscopic findings indicated Müllerian system hypoplasia in addition to vascular malformation.
