title: Endometrial ossification.
abstract: A case of endometrial ossification in a 22-year-old woman is reported. Chronic endometritis following post-abortion evacuation was considered the basis for the osseous metaplasia in her endometrium. Besides being a reversible cause of infertility, endometrial ossification needs to be differentiated from mixed mesodermal tumours of the endometrium.
