On February 19, 1890, patient EI, 50 years old, was admitted to the hospital, extremely exhausted; subcutaneous fat layer is poorly developed, visible mucous membranes are pale. Regula appeared at the age of 15, the first birth at the age of 21. Dysmenoric phenomena, which appeared 10 years ago, have significantly increased since last summer. Pain is localized mainly in the left groin area. Hemorrhages have become more profuse, showing almost daily lately. An objective examination revealed a tumor in the lower abdomen, completely smooth, uniformly dense consistency, the size of a child's head. The body of the uterus is directly connected to it.
