ABSTRACT
Adenomyotic cyst is a rare variant of adenomyosis. It is believed to arise from repeated focal haemorrhages resulting in cystic spaces filled with altered blood products. We present a rare case of a huge adenomyotic cyst in a 27-yearold primigravida, who was in her first trimester, complaining of sudden lower abdominal pain. Diagnostic laparoscopy performed to rule out other cause of acute abdomen. Her pregnancy went on smoothly. She delivered a baby girl of 2.82 kg via vaginal delivery at 39 weeks. Diagnosis and management of this rare clinical entity were reviewed and discussed.

Two women presented with history of vaginal bleeding and abnormal transvaginal ultrasound findings. Saline infusion sonohysterography was done for preoperative evaluation and this imaging study revealed centrally located uterine mass with internal cystic portion. Our initial impression was submucosal myoma with cystic degeneration and hysteroscopic removal of the mass was performed. During the procedure, dark brownish cystic fluid was drained. The excised submucosal mass was pathologically diagnosed as adenomyosis and clinically as submucosal adenomyotic cyst. Submucosal adenomyotic cyst should be part of the differential diagnosis of submucosal uterine masses with cystic portion. We report two cases of submucosal adenomyotic cyst successfully treated with hysteroscopic resection and brief review on this topic.

Cystic adenomyosis is a rare form of adenomyosis of the uterine myometrium that has been described in older adults. This condition has not frequently been reported in the adolescent girl. The adenomyotic cyst was located within the myometrium of a 15-year-old adolescent girl suffering from acute lower abdominal pain, not dysmenorrhea. After laparoscopic operation, patients's symptoms improved. On pathology finding, the cyst diagnosed adenomyotic cyst. We report a case of adenomyotic cyst of the uterus in adolescent girl with a brief review of literatures.

Adenomyotic cyst is very rare disease, their sizes are mostly lesser 5mm. The intrauterine adenomyotic cyst may arise from progressive expansion of cyst due to progressive menstrual bleeding. Authors experienced a case of large adenomyotic cyst within myometrium occuring in a l9-year-old woman, and who was accompanied with endometriosis. The cyst was about 3 x 3em sized, and had chocolate colored thick viscous contents, We experienced one case of adenomyotic cyst which was thought to be degenerated uterine myoma, so we report the case with a brief review of the concerned literatures.

Adenomyotic cysts are not uncommon disease, but their sizes are mostly lesser 5 mm. Reports of large adenomyotic cyst ( >5 mm ) are vere rary. These large sized hemorrhagic cysts arise from small sized cyst and may be caused by progressive expansion of cyst due to progressive menstrual bleeding. And the active secreting of cystic wall may play a part in making the large cyst. Authors observed a case of large adenomyotic cyst within myometrium occuring in o 39-year-old woman, and she was accompanied with both ovarian endometriomas. The cyst was 3 *3 cm sized, and had chocolate-colored thick viscous contents. Histologically, cystic wall was lined with endometrial type epithelium. Epithelium were composed of single layer columnar, partly ciliated cells. Stroma under glandular epithelium were thin throughout the cyst and resembled morphologically endometrial stroma in endometriosis and had red cells and hemosiderin-laden macrophages in places. We experienced one case of large adenomyotic cyst, so we report the case with a brief review of the concerned literatures.
