Abstract

The reported incidence of adenomyosis based on unselected hysterectomies varies so widely that conclusions regarding the influence of any factor on that incidence are difficult to reach, although the relation of adenomyosis uteri to endometrial carcinoma has been the subject of only a few studies. In a 5-year period at the General Hospital of Athens, 646 hysterectomies were performed. All data were retrieved from the surgical pathology laboratory files concerning adenomyosis uteri with either simultaneous endometrial carcinoma or endometrial hyperplasia. A control population was selected from patients operated upon for a variety of benign pelvic diseases. Adenomyosis was found in association with endometrial carcinoma in 17.5% of 40 cases, and in association with endometrial hyperplasia in 21.6% of 60 cases. The control series of 546 patients had a 26% incidence of adenomyosis. The results of our study do not indicate any correlation between adenomyosis uteri and endometrial carcinoma.
