Materials and methods. The study involved clinical instrumental examination and surgical treatment of a woman with extragenital pathology, who presented in postmenopausal period with uterine leiomyoma modified into pyomyoma and hystero-appendicular fistula resulting in secondary appendicitis.

This complication of leiomyoma may result in spontaneous perforation of the uterus involving neighboring organs in the inflammatory process and the development of surgical diseases, particularly secondary appendicitis.
