Osseous metaplasia of the endometrium is a rare condition characterized by the presence of mature or immature bone in the endometrium. Most cases present with secondary infertility following an abortion or chronic endometritis. Some patients are asymptomatic, while others have menstrual abnormalities such as menorrhagia or oligomenorrhea. Removal of the bony fragments helps in spontaneous conception. We hereby present two cases of osseous metaplasia of the endometrium with radiological and pathological correlation.

“…Endometrial bone has an intensely echogenic sonographic appearance causing posterior acoustic shadowing. Differential diagnoses include calcified submucous fibroids, mixed mullerian mesenchymal tumour, endometrial tuberculosis and IUCD [14]. Cases of retained fetal bone have been described up to 15 years after termination [1].…”

Introduction: Retained intra-uterine fetal bone is a known complication following surgical termination of a second trimester pregnancy. It is most commonly detected on investigation for acute pelvic pain or secondary infertility and can manifest up to 15 years after surgery. We describe a presentation of abnormal uterine bleeding only six weeks after surgical abortion of second trimester pregnancy. This is both a rare presentation of retained fetal bone and the earliest documented case following surgery. Case Report: A healthy nulliparous 18-yearold female presented with painful per vaginal bleeding six weeks after surgical termination of a second trimester pregnancy. She had no past medical history or gynecological infection. A single linear echogenic endometrial focus was identified on trans-vaginal ultrasound. A diagnosis of retained intra-uterine fetal bone was confirmed after hysteroscopic resection. The patient was asymptomatic with regular menses at three month clinic follow-up. Conclusion: Intra-uterine fetal bone should be considered in all females with echogenic intra-uterine material on trans-vaginal ultrasound following surgical abortion regardless of the interval between

“…Endometrial osseous metaplasia is a rare clinical entity, with very few cases reported both in India and worldwide [1][2][3][4][5][6]. It is characterized by the presence of immature or mature bone in the endometrium [2][3][4][5][6]. Its pathogenesis is not clear, but the most widely accepted theory is metaplasia of the stromal cells into osteoblasts, which produce osseous tissue [2,3,7].…”
