From a histologic point of view, deep rectovaginal endometriotic nodules were described by Donnez et al. (1) back in 1996 as “adenomyomas,” consisting of smooth muscle hyperplasia with active glandular epithelium and scanty stroma. In fact, the histologic patterns of deep endometriosis and uterine adenomyosis appear to be very similar. [...]\n- Affiliations\n- APA\n- Chicago\n- FWB\nDonnez, J., Dolmans, M.-M., & Fellah, L.
