A 46-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain and abnormal uterine bleeding over the last year. She had a history of failed cyclic progesterone with tranexamic acid over the last 3 months to control her bleeding attacks. She had a tender pelvi-abdominal mass of 28 weeks’ gestation size. Therapeutic curettage was performed, followed by correction of her iron deficiency anemia with intravenous iron.
