Adenomyosis

Adenomyosis is defined as a benign invasion from the endometrium into the myometrium, producing a diffuse increase in the uterus, showing under a microscope non-neoplastic endometrial glands and stroma surrounded by hypertrophic and hyperplastic myometrium [1]. Siegler and Camilien [2] define adenomyosis as the presence of endometrial and corium glandular cells on more than 2.5 mm from the endometrium-myometrium interface.
