This chapter describes the clinical and pathological features of endometriosis and adenomyosis, focusing on the presence of endometrium-like glands and stroma either outside the uterus (endometriosis) or within the uterine wall (adenomyosis). It notes that the two conditions rarely coexist. A major limitation is that the provided text is only bibliographic/abstract-level material without detailed study methods, data, or explicit limitations beyond the brief scope of the excerpt. This paper is centrally about endometriosis and adenomyosis — it defines and contrasts adenomyosis (uterine wall involvement) with endometriosis (extrauterine endometrial tissue).
