Abstract

Rationale: Adenomyosis is a disease in which the endometrial tissues (glands and stroma) extend into the myometrium. It usually occurs in parous women aged 35 to 50 years old.

Patient concerns: A 46-year-old woman had adenomyosis and hemoperitoneum caused by bleeding of adenomyosis. Diagnoses: Adenomyosis and hemoperitoneum. Interventions: Hysterectomy with unilateral adnexectomy and subcutaneous injection of GnRH-α every 28 days for 3 times.
