ABSTRACT: Background: Xanthogranulomatous inflammation of the female reproductive
organs is a rare chronic inflammation. In most reported cases, the lesion was
limited to the endometrium and fallopian tubes. Here, we report two cases of
xanthogranulomatous inflammation of the myometrium with a history of
endometrial biopsy. Case Reports: In two cases, myometrial xanthogranulomatous
inflammation destroyed the myometrium. This inflammation developed into
surrounding pelvic organs, resulting in uterine perforation. Conclusion: When
inflammatory lesions are found after intrauterine manipulation, the possibility
of developing xanthogranulomatous inflammation should be considered. If
antibiotics are ineffective, prompt surgical treatment is necessary.
