Морфологічні особливості та активність естрогенових рецепторів ендометрію та фокусів аденоміозу в пацієнток у постменопаузі
This study investigated the morphological features and estrogen receptor activity of eutopic and ectopic endometrium in postmenopausal women with adenomyosis, finding adenomyosis foci retain proliferative and secretory activity.

This study investigated morphological characteristics and estrogen receptor (ER) activity in eutopic endometrium and adenomyosis foci in 30 postmenopausal patients, comparing cases with concurrent endometrial hyperplastic processes (endometrial adenocarcinoma or hyperplasia) versus without such processes (age-related changes). Using hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry on tissue microarrays, the authors assessed ER expression of eutopic and ectopic (adenomyosis) components by a point system and described proliferative/secretory morphology within adenomyosis foci. They found that adenomyosis foci retain activity with proliferation and secretion, and that ER expression in eutopic endometrium generally dominates over ER activity in adenomyosis foci in the setting of endometrial adenocarcinoma and endometrial atrophy, with stromal ER intensity lower than glandular in both eutopic and heterotopic tissues in endometrial carcinoma. A limitation noted implicitly by the paper’s design is its small sample size and restricted ER-focused assessment, with future work suggested for progesterone receptor activity. This paper is centrally about endometriosis-adenomyosis overlap in adenomyosis—specifically ER activity and morphology in adenomyosis foci in postmenopausal patients.
