Calcifications of the benign endometrium.

A 28-year-old woman underwent a dilatation and curettage procedure in the course of an infertility evaluation, with the finding of multiple psammoma bodies in the tissue from the lower uterine segment. A repeated dilatation and curettage procedure performed five months later again revealed psammoma bodies in the lower endometrium and normal fundal endometrium. The patient previously had been treated with clomiphene. Psammoma bodies in the gynecologic tract most often have been associated with malignant neoplasms; however, a few cases of psammoma body formation or dystrophic calcification of the endometrium in benign conditions have been reported.
