This paper is a case report describing an adenomyotic cyst in an adolescent girl, evaluated using ultrasound, CT, and MRI, with diagnosis confirmed by surgical pathology. The authors focused on outlining the radiologic features of cystic adenomyosis, noting that this presentation had not previously been reported in pediatric radiology literature. A major limitation is that the evidence is limited to a single patient case without broader comparative analysis. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — it specifically reports a rare “cystic adenomyosis” (adenomyotic cyst) case in an adolescent and details its imaging confirmation by pathology, directly relating to adenomyosis.

Abstract

Cystic adenomyosis is a rare form of adenomyosis of the uterine myometrium that has been described in older adults. This condition has not previously been reported in the pediatric radiology literature. In this case report, we describe an adenomyotic cyst in an adolescent girl that was imaged with US, CT, and MR and proved by surgical pathology. Understanding of the radiologic features of cystic adenomyosis is important for noninvasive diagnosis and effective medical/surgical management. Similar content being viewed by others
