摘要：
Uterine fibroids are the most common solid tumours found in the uterus. Prevalence varies significantly and research shows that women with African ancestry have a greater risk for these. Though the majority of cases are asymptomatic and therefore require conservative or no treatment, in some cases, fibroids can be troublesome and undergo complications that have a significant impact on patients' lives. These include degeneration of fibroids, often a misdiagnosis best detected on a Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan. Here we present a case of red/haemorrhagic degeneration occurring in a young 23 year old nulliparous women with a small fibroid.
