Editor:A 29-year-old nulliparous patient with an unremarkable medical history presented with chronic lower abdominal pain. The pain had been present for several months and was noncyclic. There was no evidence of dysmenorrhea.Clinical examination revealed a subserosal uterine leio-myoma 7.3 cm in diameter on the posterior uterine wall, but palpation of this tumor did not provoke pain. In the absence of another pathologic process that would explain the abdominal pain, a bilateral embolization of the uterine artery was performed.
