Juvenile Adenomyotic Cyst of the Corpus Uteri with Dysmenorrhea.

Abstract

The clinical and pathological features of an apparently unique case of an endometrial cyst of the uterus are reported. The cyst was located within the myometrium of a 16-year-old woman suffering from dysmenorrhea. After excision of the cyst, patient's symptoms improved. On histological examination, the cyst most closely resembled an adenomyotic cyst.

“…Several terms have been used to define these large cysts including adenomyotic cyst [6][7][8], cystic adenomyoma [9][10][11], and cystic adenomyosis [12,13]. According to Takeuchi et al [14], adenomyoma is a neoplastic tumor classified as a benign mixed epithelial-nonepithelial tumor.…”

Adenomyotic cyst of the uterus associated with pelvic pain: A case report

“…But even urinary retension may be the symptom of an adenomyomatous polyp [8]. Pain or severe dysmenorrhea may also be the main symptom in adenomyotic cysts [2,4,5]. This patient had also pelvic pain as the main symptom accompanied by dysmenorrhea and postcoital pain.…”

“…Adenomyotic cysts are usually observed in parous women, and usually seen in association with diffuse adenomyosis uteri [3]. But isolated adenomyotic cysts may also be detected [4,5]. Adenomyotic cysts are usually seen in older ages but they may be even detected in adolescents [5].…”

“…But isolated adenomyotic cysts may also be detected [4,5]. Adenomyotic cysts are usually seen in older ages but they may be even detected in adolescents [5]. Small adenomyotic cysts that do not usually exceed 5 mm in diameter are found in 24% of hysterectomy specimens [6] but larger adenomyotic cysts are extremely rare.…”

“…This patient had also pelvic pain as the main symptom accompanied by dysmenorrhea and postcoital pain. The pain of the adenomyotic cyst may be attributed to the progressive increase in size of the mass, stretching of the endometrial cavity and intracystic bleeding [5].…”
