The present study aimed at reporting a case of uterine arteriovenous malformation after molar pregnancy. Case Presentation: A 38-year-old woman with repeated heavy vaginal bleeding was referred to oncology department of Ghaem hospital affiliated to Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in 2016. She had history of evacuation curettage of molar pregnancy in the previous month. Examinations revealed AVM in fundus of uterus; and the patients was asymptomatic after embolization of the AVM and she is now under serial follow-up. Conclusions:The diagnosis of AVM should be considered when an unexplained massive hemorrhage occurs after gestational trophoblastic disease. In the case of correct diagnosis, unnecessary surgery is avoided.
