[Medically indicated termination of pregnancy in giant uterine myoma and mono-amniotic twin pregnancy: a case report].

: We report the rare combination of a monoamniotic twin pregnancy with giant uterine leiomyomas in a 33-year-old para 0, gravida 1. Considering the restricted capacity of uterine expansion during pregnancy and the known complications associated with myomas, as well as the elevated morbidity and mortality of monoamniotic twin pregnancies, we opted for a medically indicated abortion at 12 weeks' gestation. After abortion the patient developed fever and abdominal pain. In differential diagnosis we considered endomyometritis and necrosis of the myomas. Despite adequate conservative treatment the symptoms persisted and myomectomy was performed in view of the patient's desire to maintain fertility.
