Abstract:

Juvenile cystic adenomyosis, a rare type of adenomyosis, is mainly manifested as the severe pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea within 5 years of menarche, and the inefficiency of drug treatment. Pelvic MRI is the most sensitive examination. It was difficult to distinguish the juvenile cystic adenomyosis from the obstructive uterine and vaginal dysplasia before sugury. Laparoscopic resection of lesions is the most accurate treatment for this disease, with a low postoperative recurrence rate. A case of juvenile cystic adenomyosis was reported in this paper. The patient had severe dysmenorrhea over 2 years after menarche. The case was misdiagnosed as obstructive reproductive tract malformation before surgery. Cystic adenomyosis was diagnosed during laparoscopic exploration. The dysmenorrhea symptoms were significantly improved after complete resection of the lesion. This case report combined with literature review is helpful for us to deepen the understanding of juvenile cystic adenomyosis.
