Isolated Eosinophilic Myometritis: A Case Report of an Extremely Rare Phenomenon

Increased number of eosinophils in the uterus has been reported under physiological and pathologic conditions. However, eosinophilic infiltration limited to the myometrium is very unusual. A rare finding of isolated eosinophilic infiltration in the myometrium without involvement of endometrium or pathologies in the cervix or ovaries was observed in a 31-yr-old woman seeking medical attention for unexplained infertility, abnormal uterine bleeding, and dysmenorrhea. The patient had no allergies, parasitic disease, or other systemic disorders. This rare manifestation of eosinophilic infiltration expands the differential diagnosis of inflammatory conditions of the myometrium in patients with gynecological issues.
