Disseminated intravascular coagulation is most frequently associated with obstetric catastrophes, metastatic malignancy, massive trauma and bacterial sepsis, but relatively rarely related to benign tumors. We report on disseminated intravascular coagulopathy in a patient with significant adenomyosis and menometrorrhagia. An extremely rare case, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy developed in this benign case and was successfully treated with a hysterectomy and blood product transfusions.

Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive system. Fibroids can become symptomatic with symptoms such as menorrhagia and menometrorrhagia, pelvic pain, and reproductive dysfunction. Hysterectomy, myomectomy, and the less invasive uterine artery embolization are now commonly performed if conservative management of symptomatic fibroids fails. Moreover, uterine artery embolization (UAE) is the preferred minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of symptomatic fibroids. Major complications of UAE are extremely rare but well known. Additionally, there is a risk of undiagnosed uterine sarcoma found post embolization, which has been reported in literature during the past 12 years. Herein, we describe a case of an incidentally discovered uterine sarcoma in a premenopausal female after hysterectomy for post uterine artery embolization endometritis and sepsis.
