ABSTRACT
Although arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the uterus is a very rare cause of menometrorrhagia or postmenopausal vaginal bleeding, it is notable to think in the assessment of a woman with abnormal uterine bleeding because correct diagnosis can yield proper therapy to be designed and avoid hysterectomy in women who want to continue their reproductive capacity. AVM may be congenital or acquired. In times past, the diagnosis is usually made after hysterectomy, but currently it may be made before treatment by ultrasound, pelvic angiography, or magnetic resonance imaging. We have experienced one case of AVM of uterus, which is diagnosed after hysterectomy.
