Adénomyose
Adenomyosis is defined histologically, with clinical presentation and imaging modalities like ultrasound and MRI used for diagnosis, and various medical and surgical treatments available.

This paper is a histology-based overview of adenomyosis, defining it by the presence of endometrial implants located more than 2 mm from the endometrium-myometrium junction and reviewing clinical presentation and diagnostic approaches. It reports that the classic symptomatic triad (menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, enlarged uterus) occurs in only about 18% of cases, and that pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound performance varies by series, while MRI shows sensitivity and specificity around 70% and 90%. The paper states that hysteroscopy is increasingly used, particularly when lesions are near the uterine cavity, but that MRI remains the most relevant exploration; it also notes that medical treatments (e.g., LH-RH analogues, danazol) can be effective yet have important side effects. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — it summarizes diagnostic criteria, imaging performance, and treatment options for uterine adenomyosis.
