    UnlabelledUterine leiomyoma is the most common benign tumour of the female reproductive tract originating from the uterine smooth muscle causing morbidity and impairing their quality of life. It is common among women in the age group 30 to 50 years of age. Women are usually asymptomatic or may present with various symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and change in bowel and bladder habits due to pressure symptoms. It is one of the leading causes of hysterectomy. Women with uterine leiomyoma can be managed medically and surgically. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue is one of the modalities used preoperatively to reduce the size of large uterine fibroid. We present the case report of a 36-year-old nulligravida who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy for large uterine leiomyoma weighing 5.61 kg without compression symptoms. She received a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (injection leuprolide) preoperatively for reduction of the size of uterine myoma.Keywordscase reports; gonadotropin-releasing hormone; hysterectomy; leiomyoma.
