ABSTRACT
Background@#Pelvic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare but carries life-threatening consequences.@*Case Report@#A 47-year-old multipara who had previously undergone four cesarean sections came for re-evaluation of a malignant ovarian new growth. She was asymptomatic. Repeat ultrasound revealed normal ovaries, and a cystic structure at the left adnexa with abundant mixing of colors, turbulent flow and pulsative waveforms on spectral Doppler. It arises from serpentine tubular structures from the uterine isthmus. Uterine artery aneurysm was considered. Magnetic resonance angiography confirmed the findings of aneurysm and pelvic arteriovenous malformation. The patient underwent a hysterectomy with ligation and excision of aneurysm. Histopathologic findings showed pelvic AVM and a true aneurysm of the uterine artery.@*Conclusion@#Ultrasound with color Doppler is a low-cost and readily available tool for gynecologists for the diagnosis and management of pelvic AVM.
