摘要
Pyometra is a gynecological condition characterized by pus accumulation in the endometrial cavity. It is a rare condition, and it should be included in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in postmenopausal women. We present a case of a 65-year-old postmenopausal woman with complaints of foul-smelling white discharge, itching in the perineal region, lower abdominal pain, and postmenopausal bleeding for two to three months. USG of the pelvis was done outside, which revealed heterogeneous ill-defined cervical growth with endometrial fluid collection and multiple uterine fibroids. CT and MRI of the pelvis were done in our hospital, which revealed an ill-defined heterogeneously enhancing growth in the cervix with multiple uterine fibroids and heterogeneous endometrial collection showing restricted diffusion in MRI suggestive of pyometra. Cervical biopsy revealed features suggestive of moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma.
