This case report describes a 30-year-old parous woman who presented with severe dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia, initially leading to surgical intervention under the clinical impression of pelvic endometriosis. Post-operative examination revealed an incidental finding of cystic degeneration within a localized adenomyoma, a rare manifestation of uterine adenomyosis. The authors present this unique clinical presentation alongside a review of pertinent literature to highlight the diagnostic challenges associated with such atypical adenomyotic lesions. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — specifically the rare occurrence of cystic degeneration within an adenomyoma that was initially misdiagnosed as endometriosis.
