ABSTRACT
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious illness sometimes causing death due to acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). Blood stasis of the pelvic vein is a major etiologic factor for DVT. Occasionally a huge uterine myoma can cause compression of the pelvic venous system leading to DVT. We experienced a very rare case of pulmonary thromboembolism in a 45-year-old woman with a huge uterine myoma and no other recognized risk factors for PTE and DVT. The patient was successfully treated with thrombolytic and anticoagulation therapy associated with total hysterectomy.
