Abstract
Corpora amylacea (CA) appeared to be an eosinophilic, acellular round laminated structure. Present case was a 40-year-old patient who presented with menorrhagia. The patient was operated and hysterectomy was done. Histopathological examination revealed presence of a submucous leiomyoma, measuring 5×4×4cm. In addition, the uterus showed adenomyosis and several round structures, suggestive of corpora amylacea.
Keywords: Pathogenesis, Carpora amylacea, Ageing, wasteosomes.
