This chapter defines adenomyosis as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma within the uterine wall, while endometriosis involves similar tissue outside the uterus. It notes that these two conditions rarely coexist in the same patient. The text serves as a foundational overview within a broader clinical obstetrics and gynaecology textbook published in 2000. This paper is centrally about endometriosis and adenomyosis — specifically providing basic definitions and distinguishing features of both conditions.
