Objective: Hematometra is a rare and delayed complication of medical termination of pregnancy. Acquired acute hematometra also termed the postabortal syndrome or the redo syndrome is a rare complication of suction evacuation with incidence ranging from 0.1 to 1 per 100 suction curettage abortions.

Large pelvic cysts are commonly seen in gynecologic practice; their heterogeneous origin is reflected in their pleomorphic clinical features. We report the case of a 64-year-old multiparous postmenopausal woman with an unusual manifestation of endometrial adenocarcinoma that presented as hematometra mimicking a large pelvic cyst. In this case, hematometra was well demonstrated by transabdominal...
