We report a case of cystic adenomyosis in a juvenile patient presenting with severe dysmenorrhea refractory to any given medication. The patient initially was diagnosed as uterus bicornis with an obstructed rudimentary horn. Surgical exploration and excision of the cystic mass relieved the symptoms of the patient.\nSimilar content being viewed by others\nReferences\nTakeda A, Sakai K, Mitsui T et al (2007) Laparoscopic management of juvenile cystic adenomyoma of the uterus: report of two cases and review of the literature.
