Each subject was examined using transvaginal ultrasound, followed by surgical interventions such as dilatation and curettage, accompanied by detailed follow-up assessments. The effectiveness of transvaginal sonography in identifying adenomyosis was evaluated by comparing it to the histopathological diagnosis.\nResults: Histopathological analysis confirmed adenomyosis in 162 (83.9%) of the 193 patients, whereas transvaginal sonography identified 151 (78.2%). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and overall accuracy of transvaginal sonography in diagnosing adenomyosis were calculated to be 90.74%, 87.10%, 97.35%, 64.29%, and 90.16%, respectively.\nConclusion: Transvaginal sonography demonstrates considerable sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing adenomyosis, obviating the necessity for supplementary diagnostic investigations.\nDownloads\nPublished\nHow to Cite\nIssue\nSection\nLicense\nCopyright (c) 2024 Esculapio Journal of SIMS\nThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
