A Rare Case of Multiple Subserous Uterine Adenomyomas Misdiagnosed as an Ovarian Cyst, Diagnosed and Treated by Laparoscopy
Subserous adenomyomas, a rare subtype of uterine adenomyomas, are commonly reported in the literature as a single adenomyoma. Furthermore, no studies have reported the presence of multiple subserosal adenomyomas. This condition requires attention, and it is essential to differentiate it from ovarian cysts. Subserosal adenomyomas exceeding 8 cm in diameter are rare, with the literature documenting a mere six cases. Larger cysts are associated with a higher likelihood of malignancy. There is currently no effective drug treatment available for this disease. Laparoscopy is an effective method for treating this condition.
