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.
