This paper is a narrative chapter defining endometriosis as the presence of uterine tissue with glandular and stromal elements at sites outside the uterus, emphasizing that the tissue is hormone-responsive. It outlines historical terminology and mentions synonyms including adenomyosis externa and fibroadenomatosis uteri. As a high-level reference chapter rather than an original study, it does not present new experimental data and is limited to definitional and literature-based framing. Relevance to endometriosis: the paper is centrally about endometriosis and explicitly provides its core definition and terminology, with adenomyosis externa listed as a synonym.
