Abstract

Postmenopausal patient presenting with pain and lump in abdomen should be considered as a complication caused by gynaecological malignancy unless proved otherwise pyometra is most common in postmenopausal women but it can affect women of child bearing age as well. Usually it is caused by impairment of natural drainage of the cervix due to malignant diseases of genital tract and consequences of their treatment with radiotherapy. Authors report one such case with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia with uterus markedly enlarged to 26-28 weeks size with Vaginal stenosis in an eighty-year-old postmenopausal patient.
