'Adenomyosis': The Enigma
Advances in Laparoscopy2017Vol. 1(1)
Abstract
Adenomyosis was classically defined by Bird, et al. as 'Benign invasion of endometrium in the myometrium producing a diffusely enlarged uterus which microscopically exhibits ectopic nonneoplastic endometrial glands and stroma surrounded by hypertrophic and hyperplastic myometrium'. It is this hypertrophic and hyperplastic myometrium that needs to be tailored in the surgical management of adenomyosis and hence holds a lot of importance in the entire discussion of adenomyosis.
