title: [Bony metaplasia of the endometrium. Report of two cases].
abstract: We report a 28 year old female consulting for infertility and a 26-year-old woman consulting for severe dysmenorrhea. In both patients a osseous metaplasia of the endometrium was found. Both patients were subjected to a hysteroscopic resection of the osseous material and both achieved spontaneous pregnancies and term deliveries following the procedures. If the bony material is removed, normal pregnancies and deliveries are feasible afterwards, no matter how extensive is the the osseus metaplasia.
