Abstract

A 43-year-old woman presented with a 4-month history of amenorrhoea and a pelvic mass. Prior to this, her periods had been heavy and regular and she had not undergone any procedures to her uterus or cervix. An MRI scan revealed a well-defined mass lying within the central pelvis and the uterus and ovaries could not be identified separately. Examination under anaesthesia confirmed a haematometra with no underlying pathology. After this, the woman continued to have regular heavy periods.
