Figure 1 Before initiating antitubercular therapy the endometrium in the left cornua appears irregular, pale, and dirty-looking; endometrial gland openings are not visible, flimsy adhesions are present, and the mucosal surface is diffusely covered with irregular whitish deposits.

Figure 2 After antitubercular therapy the left cornua looks unremarkable in a 1× panoramic view except for a whitish, well-circumscribed, tubercle-like, rounded structure present over the posterior cornual wall, giving the impression that the tubercular pathology had been walled off. A targeted biopsy of this rounded structure confirmed a persisting tubercular pathology by real-time polymerase chain reaction.

Figure 3 After antitubercular therapy, the left cornual endometrium, which appeared normal in a distant panoramic view, exhibited roughness of the mucosal surface on a close-up 1× visualization.

Figure 4 After antitubercular therapy, the left cornua, when observed with an at-source magnification in the same panoramic manner as in Fig. 3 (Hamou Micro-Hysteroscope II; Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) (7), revealed ill-defined whitish deposits and minute adhesion bands diffusely involving the endometrial surface.
