Endometriosis and Endosalpingiosis
This paper distinguishes endometriosis from adenomyosis, arguing against their conceptual unity and highlighting their differing etiologies despite co-occurrence.

This chapter discusses endometriosis and endosalpingiosis within a gynaecological pathology framework, focusing on the conceptual distinction between adenomyosis and endometriosis. It reviews the terminology that groups adenomyosis as “internal endometriosis” and endometriosis as “external endometriosis,” concluding that this terminology lacks valid justification because it obscures that adenomyosis and endometriosis have differing aetiology and pathogenesis even when they can co-occur in the same patient. A major caveat is that the presented argument is conceptual/pathological rather than based on a specific new study with detailed methods or quantitative outcomes. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it challenges the “internal vs external endometriosis” terminology and emphasizes differences in aetiology and pathogenesis between adenomyosis and endometriosis.
