Two cases of histiocytic endometritis are described, both characterized by total replacement of the endometrium with sheets of lipid‐containing histiocytic cells. This condition appears to be a rare complication of cervical occlusion and it is suggested that the histiocytic reaction occurs as a response to a haematometra.
