Abstract : Myometrial cysts are rare uterine lesions, most commonly associated with adenomyosis or cystic degeneration of leiomyomas. Their occurrence during pregnancy is extremely uncommon and may pose diagnostic as well as intraoperative challenges. We report a case of a term pregnant woman undergoing cesarean delivery in whom an incidental myometrial cyst was identified intraoperatively. Histopathological examination confirmed cystic adenomyosis. This case highlights the importance of recognizing such rare entities and discusses their clinical implications and management during pregnancy.
