eosinophilia, the number of eosinophils in blood likely be normal.
Aim: The incidental finding of eosinophilic infiltration only in myometrium, needs to be highlighted.
Case Report & Conclusion: Histopathological diagnosis of Isolated Eosinophilic Myometritis, a rare
incidental finding in a 50 year female without involvement of endometrium, leiomyoma and cervix, is
being presented. The literature is being reviewed for this rare entity.
