Adenomyosis should be suspected in women with abnormal bleeding or dysmenorrhea and an enlarged uterus, with improved imaging and biopsy techniques enabling preoperative diagnosis and tailored treatment.

Abstract

The clinical diagnosis of adenomyosis is elusive but should be suspected in women who complain of abnormal uterine bleeding or dysmenorrhea and have a regular but enlarged uterus. The use of newer diagnostic imaging modalities and recent research on myometrial biopsies should enable the clinician to arrive at a definite preoperative diagnosis and offer the patient treatment tailored to her needs.
