J Minim Invasive Gynecol. 2009 Jul-Aug;16(4):496-7. doi: 10.1016/j.jmig.2009.03.020.

Abstract

A 46-year old multiparous woman visited a 1-stop clinic for abnormal uterine bleeding. There was a small submucosal type 2 myoma of 2 cm in her normal sized uterus. We treated her using Novasure endometrial ablation. One year later the patient suffered from sudden excessive vaginal bleeding and collapse. A myoma of 4 cm was being expelled from the uterus.
