We report a case of emphysematous endometritis in a 65-year-old patient who has stage III, high-grade, poorly differentiated endometrial cancer; she was on chemotherapy. The patient developed pyogenic emphysematous endometritis complicated by hypovolemic shock and sepsis. She was admitted to the intensive care unit for treatment with vasopressors and antibiotics. The shock was successfully managed and her hospital course was otherwise unremarkable.

Endometrial pneumatosis, also referred to as pneumopolycystic or emphysematous endometritis, is a rare condition reported only twice previously in the literature and only once as an isolated finding. We report a case of endometrial pneumatosis in a 43-yr-old patient who underwent hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy for treatment of a symptomatic uterine leiomyoma. No predisposing factors towards pneumatosis were identified and in particular there was no evidence of immune impairment, diabetes mellitus, uterine infection, or prior surgical intervention.
