ABSTRACT
Adenomyotic cyst is a rare form of adenomyosis caused by extensive menstrual bleeding into the ectopic endometrium. Exceptionally, they can show massive growth resulting in what is called large adenomyotic cyst. We report a case of a 35-year-old woman presented with chronic pelvic pain and severe dysmenorrhea appeared five months after her last caesarean section. Abdominopelvic ultrasound showed a large cystic lesion in the posterior uterine wall suggestive of an adenomyotic cyst which was confirmed after surgical enucleation.
