Abstract

ABSTRACT Aims To report a case of iatrogenic endometrioses as a result of improper closure of endometrial cavity during myomectomy. Case Report A 30-year-old para 1 has been self-referred to our institution for medical care. A fibroid protruding the endometrial canal was removed 8 months prior to this hospital admission. In less than a month after initial myomectomy, she began experiencing severe pelvic pain more accentuated during menstruation. The pain became progressively worse. The magnetic resonance imaging results are suggestive of ovarian endometrioma. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophrectomy. Cut surface of uterine cavity shows obliteration of endometrial canal with hourglass constriction. Conclusion Closure of endometrium during myomectomy should be carefully done; keeping an account on patency of endometrial canal is essential to prevent iatrogenic endometriosis.
