Abstract
A 75-year-old woman presented to the clinic with incomplete uterine prolapse. Pelvic CT scan showed buildups of calcium in several uterine arteries. Total hysterectomy with oophorectomy was performed for the patient as well as the colpopexy. Following examination of the excised uterus conducted many findings: parakeratosis and nabothian cysts in the cervix, endometrial atrophy with mostly dilated glands. Fibrosis was present in myometrium as well as it’s arteries were thickened and their lumen was significantly narrowed. The deposition of calcium salts was being observed in the walls of many blood vessels. Analysis of the results of histopathological examination allowed us to classify them as sclerosis, calcinosis of stenosed uterine arteries.
We are prone to assume that in this case most probably uterine arteries sclerosis by causing a decreased blood supply of uterine body wall, played a role in endometrial atrophy and fibrosis of myometrium.
