Summary1 The eighth recorded case of cirsoid aneurysm involving the uterus is reported. 2 Laparotomy was performed twenty‐seven years before for monorrhagia. The abdomen was closed when the aneurysm was found and radium was inserted into the uterus. 3 Hysterectomy became necessary on the present occasion when excessive haemorrhage followed diagnostic curettage of the uterus for post‐menopausal bleeding. 4 The authors conclude that surgical excision of these lesions should be undertaken only as a life‐saving procedure. 5 A brief review of ‐the literature is made.
