Abstract
Adenomyotic cysts of the uterus are extremely rare and this case report is to document an adenomyotic cyst of the uterus associated with pelvic pain. A 27-year old nulliparous patient admitted to the hospital with the complaint of dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia and pain in the right pelvic region for the last 3 months. Transvaginal ultrasonographic examination revealed a 50 × 36 mm intramural cystic lesion on the right region of the corpus uteri. Hysteroscopic examination showed that it did not deteriorate the endometrial cavity. During laparatomy dissection of the uterine wall revealed 5 cm cystic lesion that was excised circumferentially protecting the surrounding myometrial tissue. The definitive pathology report came out as adenomyotic tissue. Imaging techniques are critical in differential diagnosis of adenomyotic cysts and to choose the appropriate intervention. Medical therapy or surgical intervention like excision of the cyst or hysterectomy may be the choices of treatment.
