It is a challenging diagnosis due to its infrequency and similarity to other uterine pathologies. The characteristic USG appearance showing multiple bone fragments within the endometrium suggests the diagnosis. The current case report aims to highlight the role of USG in the detection and evaluation of the endometrial osseous metaplasia in patients presenting with secondary infertility.","PeriodicalId":419021,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Clinical Radiology","volume":" 31","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140222373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an intensely enhancing, lobulated solid mass with a frond-like appearance, and papillary projections surrounding the left ovary reminiscent of a “sea-anemone.” The right ovary showed a cystic lesion without enhancing papillary projections or mural nodules. There was mild pelvic ascites and few peritoneal nodules in the pelvis. The presumptive radiologic diagnosis was serous surface papillary borderline tumor (SSPBT) of the left ovary and a benign cyst in the right ovary. The patient was treated with the left salpingo-oophorectomy, right ovarian cystectomy, peritoneal, and omental biopsies. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of SSPBT of the left ovary with microinvasion (<5 mm) of the ovarian surface. The right ovarian cyst was a follicular cyst. The peritoneal biopsies were positive for implants from SSPBT.
