Magnetic resonance imaging shows diffuse enlargement of the uterus with multiple bright foci on T2-weighted imaging, consistent with adenomyosis.

Magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffuse enlargement of the uterus with multiple bright foci, which suggested diffuse adenomyosis (Figure 1).
On computed tomography at 1 month after uterine artery embolization, complete necrosis of adenomyosis with air bubbles in the uterine cavity, suggesting that the adenomyosis had developed cavitation and become infected. Normal myometrium (arrows) is visible.

Pelvic computed tomography revealed complete necrosis of adenomyosis and cavitation with an air-forming abscess (Figure 2) despite the preservation of normal myometrium.
Computed tomography two and a half months after embolization reveals that the abscess cavity was smaller but remained.

Follow-up computed tomography revealed a persistent abscess, although its size had decreased (Figure 3).
Magnetic resonance imaging at 6 months after uterine artery embolization reveals considerable reduction of uterine size and restoration of normal uterine structure.
