This review article examines adenomyosis, also referred to as internal endometriosis, reflecting on its clinical understanding one century after its initial description. The text highlights foundational historical references from the mid-20th century that established early symptomatology and experimental models for the condition. It serves as a retrospective appraisal of the disease's characterization rather than presenting new primary data or contemporary surgical techniques. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis, explicitly linking it to endometriosis by classifying adenomyosis as internal endometriosis within the historical context of gynecological pathology.
