Case in brief

A woman with multiple recurrent refractory uterine fibroids and infertility underwent two open myomectomies and four sessions of high-intensity focused ultrasonography without adequate response. She received a combination of ultrasound-guided ethanol injection and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist therapy. This multimodal approach led to a successful pregnancy via in vitro fertilization and the delivery of a healthy newborn.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

A multimodal treatment strategy combining high-intensity focused ultrasound with ethanol injection and GnRH agonist therapy may improve reproductive outcomes in patients with refractory uterine fibroids.
