Trans-myometrial biopsies in 45 women under 40 identified adenomyosis in 11.11% of cases, indicating the condition affects young women independently of typical pathogenetic factors.

Abstract

Myometrial biopsies were taken on 45 women less than 40 years old either by laparoscopy or laparotomy, searching for adenomyosis "in vivo". A positive response of 5 cases (11.11%) may prove adenomyosis to affect significantly young women too and not to be closely connected with the usually reported pathogenetic factors.
