Surgical management of cystic adenomyosis (adenomyoma) in a 17-year-old female patient: A clinical case

Adenomyosis is a common form of endometriosis that affects fertility and is one of the leading causes of dysmenorrhea. It is typical for women aged 35–50. The most common form is diffuse adenomyosis, while focal adenomyosis, a cystic variant, is very rare, especially in patients younger than 30. The main diagnostic methods are ultrasonic examination and magnetic resonance imaging. The article presents a rare clinical case of cystic juvenile adenomyosis in a 17-year-old adolescent girl with severe primary dysmenorrhea who underwent organ-sparing surgical treatment to preserve fertility and eliminate pain. Pathohistological examination confirmed the cystic form of adenomyosis. Forty days after the surgery, painless menstruation occurred; thus, complete pain relief without hormone therapy was achieved.
