Abstract

Osteoid metaplasia of the endometrium is a rare pathology, defined by the presence of bone fragments in the endometrium, it most often occurs after late abortion. The pathophysiology is unknown. The symptomatology is variable and non-specific, but it is necessary to think about it in front of secondary infertility which constitutes the main reason for consultation. Pelvic ultrasound as well as diagnostic hysteroscopy can confirm the diagnosis and suggest surgical treatment by operative hysteroscopy. Through a clinical case we insist on the epidemiological, physiopathological, clinical and para-clinical characteristics of this rare entity, knowledge of which is essential for a sure diagnosis and consequently an adapted treatment often allowing to recover the fertility of the patient.
