Presentation of Case

A 38-year-old woman (gravida 5, para 1) was admitted to another hospital in spontaneous labor.

The patient's first pregnancy, six years earlier, had ended successfully at 36 weeks' gestation. A low transverse cesarean section was performed because of a breech presentation, and a uterine leiomyoma was resected. Subsequently, the patient had three spontaneous abortions in the first trimester. The most recent abortion occurred a year before admission, at six weeks' gestation. An ultrasonographic examination showed a nonviable fetus and a leiomyoma, 5 cm in diameter, adjacent to the gestational sac. A suction dilation and curettage was performed without complications.
