Background. Globally, the number of clinical cases of parasitic fibroids is steadily rising, which is associated with rapid technological progress and the widespread availability of minimally invasive technologies in the treatment of patients with uterine fibroids. The predominant use of endoscopic technologies with the morcellation of myomatous nodes can potentiate the formation of parasitic fibroids.
Case report. The paper describes a clinical case of retroperitoneal parasitic fibroids in a 49-year-old patient who was hospitalized in the Russian Center of Gerontology 6 years after laparoscopic myomectomy. The surgical treatment followed by histological verification confirmed the diagnosis of fibroleiomyoma.
Conclusion. The clinical case shows that it is necessary to study and optimize management tactics and to develop a clinical protocol for physicians on the management of patients with parasitic fibroids at the prehospital stage and in the postoperative period.
