Article Synopsis
  • Uterine leiomyomas, although rare in adolescents, can present with symptoms like abnormal bleeding and pelvic pain, with smooth muscle tumors of unknown malignant potential (STUMP) being even rarer.
  • In a hospital case study, three 19-year-old patients presented with significant symptoms, leading to the identification of varying sizes of uterine myomas; one was diagnosed as a STUMP tumor while the others were benign fibroids.
  • Despite their rarity, it is important for healthcare providers to consider uterine myomas and STUMP tumors as potential diagnoses in young patients experiencing pelvic symptoms.
