This clinico-pathological study analyzed 150 hysterectomy specimens collected from a tertiary care hospital in Kadapa between April 2016 and August 2017 to determine the prevalence of various uterine pathologies. The histopathological examination revealed that leiomyoma was the most frequent diagnosis, accounting for 28.6% of cases, followed by secretory phase endometrium at 17.3%. Adenomyosis was identified as the underlying pathology in 21 cases, representing 14% of the total cohort studied. Relevance to endometriosis: Adenomyosis is listed as a finding in this paper, which also serves as one of the indications for hysterectomy alongside fibroids and other benign conditions.
