ABSTRACT
Uterine fibroids are the most common tumors of the female genital tract. Risk factors include nulliparity, obesity, family history, black race, and hypertension. Fibroids are estimated to be the sole cause of infertility in less than 3% of cases. In women desiring fertility who require treatment of fibroids, myomectomy is the preferred approach. Removal of cavity-distorting intramural and sub mucous myomas is generally recommended prior to proceeding with the infertility treatment. In this case report two intramural fibroids of 59х49х47 mm and 41х30 х 33mm and two small subserosal fibroid were found on ultrasonography which was the cause for infertility. Myomectomy was performed and after 9 months of myomectomy she conceived and delivered a live born boy, 2.75 kg in about 1 year of abdominal myomectomy.

ABSTRACT
The seed of Abrus precatorius is used traditionally to treat many diseases and conditions. It is toxic; the ethanolic extract was assessed for toxicity and found to be safe when given in a high dose (200 and 400mg/Kg) acutely in rats weighing 130-170g. Chronic administration of the extract for 30 days orally at a dose of 20mg/Kg and 40 mg/Kg produced no toxic effects and postmortem examination detected no signs of toxicity. Red and white blood cells count, haemoglobin and haematocrit did not vary in the treated groups from the control group. Serum electrolytes (Na and K), creatinine and urea were not affected. Liver enzymes; AST, ALT ALP, serum albumin and proteins were normal in both low and high dose of precatorius extract.
KEYWORDS: A. precatorius; safety, haematology; renal function; liver function.
