title: Acute abdomen due to adenomyosis of the uterus: a case report.
abstract: A Japanese woman with severe abdominal pain underwent an emergent exploratory laparotomy. Intraperitoneal bleeding from the uterine serosal surface was observed, and a pathologic examination showed that the bleeding was caused by an exudative hemorrhage from the endometrial tissues in the myometrium close to the uterine serosal surface.
