Intraoperative hysteroscopic findings on day 21 of her menstrual cycle included external fundal compression of intramural mass without cavity distortion and multiple areas of bluish glandular pattern suggestive of adenomyosis. (Figure 2).

The uterus had posterior and fundal wall asymmetry, which upon exploration contained no capsule and was compatible with severe muscular hypertrophy and adenomyosis confirmed by frozen section. (Figure 3) Both fallopian tubes appeared to be normal and patent with injection of indigo carmine.
Scattered endometrotic lesions along rectovaginal septum and pelvic side wall.

There were scattered endometriotic lesions along the pelvic sidewalls and anterior and posterior cul-de-sac, which had slight retroperitoneal fibroadipose tissue penetration. (Figure 4) There was no evidence of deep infiltration to the retroperitoneal structures.
