The decidual cast is endometrial tissue that spontaneously falls out from the vagina while endometrial cavity retains its original shape. Up to now 20 cases have been cited in the literature There were about 20 cases in the current literature in pediatric age group. Herein, we report a 13 year old girl presented with abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, but normal physical examination and laboratory findings. Histeroscopy revealed a 4 cm sized nodular mass on the anterior uterine wall. Histopathological evaluation revealed atrophic endometrial glands within dense suppuration, necrosis and stromal decidualisation. The final pathologic diagnosis was decidual cast. The decidual cast must be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of intrauterine masses seen in children.
