This clinical review article defines adenomyosis as a benign condition characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. The authors highlight that diagnosis is challenging due to the low specificity of associated symptoms and frequent co-occurrence with other gynecological pathologies, necessitating paraclinical investigations for accurate identification. Consequently, the paper emphasizes the importance of imaging and histopathological methods to distinguish this disorder from similar uterine abnormalities. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — specifically defining its histopathological characteristics and diagnostic challenges.

Abstract

[en] Adenomyosis is a medical benign condition of the endometrium-myometrium interface that is histopathologically characterized by the presence of ectopic tissue (endometrial glands and stroma) in myometrium. The diagnosis is complicated by the low specificity of its symptoms and the frequent associations with others gynaecologic pathologies. Consequently, paraclinic investigations are essential to make the diagnosis.
