Abstract

Several studies have shown that gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa) offers a promising medical approach in the treatment of uterine leiomyomas. Medical management is very important especially when fertility is desired. We report on a case with mechanical infertility, in which the right tube was obstructed by cornual myoma and the left tube was resected due to a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. The myoma was reduced in size by GnRHa treatment and the patient subsequently conceived.
