Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign tumour in women, with an estimated prevalence of between 20 and 77% depending on the series [1]. Leiomyomata are most often asymptomatic (50-80%) [2], they can become symptomatic (uterine haemorrhage, abdominal pain, dysuria, reproductive disorders) [3], and in rare cases can be complicated by hemorrhagic shock [4]. We report the case of a patient with a polymyomatous uterus complicated by haemorrhagic shock, who underwent emergency polymyomectomy and we discuss the indications of surgical and/or non-surgical techniques (uterine artery embolisations) for management hemorrhagic shock secondary to uterine leiomyoma.
