Abstract
Two cases of juvenile cystic adenomyoma of the uterus treated by laparoscopic surgery are reported. Preoperative diagnostic imaging procedures located a cystic structure within the uterine nodule of each of these young women with severe dysmenorrhea. Under a diagnosis of cystic adenomyoma, laparoscopic excision was performed. Histopathologic examination of the resected tissues showed the presence of an endometrial structure composed of epithelium and stroma within myometrial nodule. In both of these patients, dysmenorrhea disappeared postoperatively.
