Endometrium osseous metaplasia: a case

The authors report a case of abortion, followed by infection with secondary infertility. After a uterine curettage, chronic endometritis with fibrosis, calcifications, and osseous metaplasia of the endometrium were detected by histopathology. In the follow up, the patient presented cervical and uterine synechia. Osseous metaplasia is a rare condition, but the clinician should think about it when he is in front of a patient with infertility. The present case report points out the importance of the histopathological diagnosis of osseous metaplasia, as well as the knowledge of its etiopathogenesis and association with chronic endometritis and abortion history.
