Objective To explore HIFU treatment for uterine arteriovenous malformation. Design A case report. Setting Gynaecological department in a university teaching hospital of China. Population A patient with uterine arteriovenous malformation. Methods The diagnosis of uterine arteriovenous malformation was made through MRI . Ultrasound‐guided high‐intensity focused ultrasound ( US g HIFU ) ablation was performed. Main outcomes measures HIFU is effective in treating uterine arteriovenous malformation. Results The patient had reduction of the lesion volume and obvious symptom relief, without significant adverse effects. Conclusions HIFU can be used as a new treatment option for uterine arteriovenous malformation. Tweetable abstract Ultrasound‐guided high‐intensity focused ultrasound ablation is effective in treating uterine arteriovenous malformation.
