A NEW LOOK AT THE PATHOGENESIS OF ADENOMYOSIS
This study investigated morphological features of adenomyosis in 40 patients, finding increased myometrial microvasculature, lymphostasis, edema, basophils, and glycosaminoglycans, suggesting local uterine connective tissue failure is involved.

This paper studied morphological features in 40 surgically treated patients with histologically verified adenomyosis (mean age 44.1 years), using clinical evaluation alongside survey, histochemical, and morphometric methods. The authors found that growth of heterotopic lesions was accompanied by increased microvascularization in the myometrium, lymphostasis, myometrial tissue edema, increased numbers of tissue basophils around endometriosis, and high alcian-positive glycosaminoglycan content in the intercellular substance. They conclude that local uterine tissue failure of connective tissue plays an important role in adenomyosis onset and progression, but the main limitation is that the analysis is based on an operated cohort with histology rather than broader clinical sampling. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis—morphological mechanisms of heterotopic lesion growth and associated vascular/lymphatic and connective-tissue changes.
