Endometrial calcification is an uncommon clinical entity. They can be detected during pelvic ultrasonography or as incidental pathologic findings. Most of the cases are asymptomatic or present with secondary infertility and menstrual anomalies. Its definite etiology is still not known and the pathogenesis is uncertain; its clinical importance is not yet fully validated. Since there is no exact simulating disease to compare this condition in Ayurveda; according to the features involved in its pathophysiology; involvement of Tridosha has been contemplated. Therefore, the management of endometrial calcifications is conducted by considering the specific Dosha involved. Uttara Basti is a minimally invasive procedure that can be easily performed as an outpatient procedure, offering a more convenient and cost-effective approach to enhance the treatment of endometrial calcifications. Here in this case study, the patient had been diagnosed with endometrial calcifications and was subsequently scheduled for an Ayurvedic management protocol. The procedure of Uttara Basti with Kshara Oil and Phala ghrita, was undertaken for a duration of 3 consecutive months, following the cessation of menstrual flow. The patient experienced improvment in scanty menses, her USG showed a reduction in endometrial calcification. Furthermore, she was conceived.

Background: Subtle uterine lesions are abnormal intracavitary conditions that, while not causing significant anatomical changes, can adversely impact fertility. Identifying these "subtle" lesions is challenging due to arbitrary interpretation, varied management strategies, unclear clinical significance, and insufficient clinician training in recognizing them. Hysteroscopy offers direct visualization and the capacity to obtain targeted biopsies, making it an invaluable tool for the diagnosis and treatment of these often overlooked conditions.

We present the first case of low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) invading a leiomyoma, which was difficult to diagnose preoperatively. A 49-year-old multiparous woman was referred to our institution due to the enlargement of an old leiomyoma after menopause. Transvaginal ultrasonography revealed a 40-mm lesion in the myometrium of the uterine body with calcification and edema.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to characterize the clinical and ultrasound features of uterine perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComa) using standardized medical terminology.
  • A total of five patients, aged 33 to 57, diagnosed with PEComa were analyzed, revealing both benign and malignant cases with common symptoms like vaginal discharge and abdominal pain.
  • Although ultrasound often misidentified these tumors (some as fibroids or cervical cancer), it showed many lesions as round, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment strategies, including surgery and chemotherapy for malignant cases.

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.
