This case report describes the ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of polypoid endometriosis, a rare variant that mimics endometrial polyps or solid neoplasms. The authors present findings from a pathologically confirmed case to highlight diagnostic features not previously documented in Korean radiological literature. They note that this lesion is often misidentified as a tumor during clinical, radiological, or pathological evaluations due to its resemblance to other growths. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically detailing the imaging presentation of a rare polypoid variant.

Abstract

Polypoid endometriosis is a rare variant of endometriosis that is pathologically similar to an endometrial polyp. This lesion is frequently mistaken for a solid neoplasm in clinical, radiological and pathological examinations. The clinical and pathological features of the lesion have been well described in the English literature. However, its imaging features have not been reported in the Korean literature. We describe ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging features of pathologically-confirmed polypoid endometriosis.
