  We report a case of polypoid endometriosis, which was resolved by a laparoscopic hysterectomy. A 47-year-old woman without any previous history of a gynecologic disorder presented at our hospital for evaluation of a pelvic mass. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed adenomyosis and a mass adjacent to the uterus. The mass had low signal intensity on T1- weighted imaging and high signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging. Polypoid endometriosis was suspected preoperatively. Laparoscopy revealed a dark-red pelvic mass adjacent to uterus. We performed a laparoscopic hysterectomy. Histologic examination revealed polypoid endometriosis with adenomyosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of polypoid endometriosis was resolved by a laparoscopic hysterectomy.
