Abstract

Uterine fibroid is a tumour of the smooth muscle of the uterus. The symptomatic uterine fibroids are commonly seen at age from 28 years and above but rare amongst the younger age groups. We report a case of a 23 year old single nulliparous woman who presented with symptomatic uterine fibroids and had successful open abdominal myomectomy.
