Abstract
A comparison was made between ultrasound and clinical findings in 45 patients with patients with adenomyosis. In patients with ovarian endometriosis ultrasound showed a cystic ovarian endometriosis ultrasound showed a cystic ovarian tumour in 27 patients, a mixed ovarian tumour in 5 patients, and a solid ovarian tumour in 3 patients, then polycystic ovaries in 5 patients, while in 4 patients the ultrasound finding was negative. In patients with adenomyosis, ultrasound suggested an uterus metriticus 9 times, a myoma 5 times, while cystic islets in the myometrium were found in two cases. The findings described are not specific to endometriosis.
