This report presents two cases of endometrial ossification diagnosed via hysteroscopy, reviewing its cellular differentiation etiology secondary to superoxide dismutase deficiency and diagnostic ultrasound findings.

This paper presents two clinical cases of endometrial osseous metaplasia and reviews literature on its etiology and diagnostic methods. Two patients referred for infertility and chronic pelvic pain had transvaginal ultrasound showing hyperechogenic endometrial images; hysteroscopy revealed multiple floating bony formations in the endometrial cavity that were removed and confirmed as endometrial osseous metaplasia on histology. The paper reports that one patient achieved a healthy term newborn after 8 months, while the second had two pregnancies ending in complete early abortions, and it explicitly limits its inference by describing only case outcomes without a broader comparative analysis. It concludes that the condition is a cellular differentiation problem of endometrial stromal stem cells secondary to superoxide dismutase deficiency and that it is suspected by ultrasound and diagnosed via hysteroscopy, with specific relevance to endometriosis and/or adenomyosis not discussed.
