Patient Data
Uterine parenchyma is heterogeneous with streaky posterior shadowing. There is a globular uterine enlargement with prominent in the posterior fundus. Multiple hypoechoic lesions in the posterior uterine fundus.
Case Discussion
Clinical presentation (heavy vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain) and the constellation of sonographic findings (uterine globular appearance, classic fan-shaped shadowing) suggestive of adenomyosis. Small uterine leiomyomas are not excluded. Further evaluation with pelvic MRI can be obtained for additional information as clinically warranted.
