Özet

Myometrial abscess, especially with multiple foci, is quite rare and previous literature prevalently discusses unique locus of intramyometrial abscesses, usually treated with hysterectomy accompanied with or without bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The presented case, to the authors' knowledge, is the first multiple myometrial abscess case treated with conservative surgical approach.
