Abstract

Endometrial carcinoma is one of the lucky carcinomas that can be picked up. Early surgical intervention can lead to a 100% cure. During this COVID pandemic, cancer surgeries had a setback, but our institution, be it gyanecology, radiology,
or pathology, still carried them out via necessary precautions for the betterment of clinical care. Adenomyosis is the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue in the myometrium if it involves the uterus focally, it is known as adenomyoma. Radiological findings of adenomyoma can be mistaken for endometrial carcinoma. We present such a case in which a radiologically diagnosed endometrial carcinoma turned out to be adenomyoma on histopathology
