ABSTRACT

Osseous metaplasia of the endometrium is a rare and intriguing pathological condition characterized by the presence of bony tissue within the endometrial cavity. This phenomenon can have significant clinical implications, particularly in the context of infertility. The etiology of osseous metaplasia remains unclear, although various hypotheses have been proposed, including chronic inflammation, dystrophic calcification, and residual embryonic tissue. Clinically, patients may present with secondary infertility, abnormal uterine bleeding, or pelvic pain. Diagnosis can be made based on ultrasonography and histopathological analysis of the endometrial tissue. Treatment typically involves the removal of the osseous tissue via hysteroscopy, which can lead to the restoration of normal endometrial function and potentially resolve infertility. Further research is needed to elucidate the etiological factors and optimize treatment protocols.
