Desafios no diagnóstico diferencial da adenomiose: estratégias para diferenciar de miomas uterinos e endometriose
This review identified challenges in differentiating adenomyosis from uterine fibroids and endometriosis, highlighting transvaginal ultrasound and MRI as crucial imaging tools and emphasizing the need for combined methods and clinical evaluation for accurate diagnosis.

The paper is a systematic literature review focused on the diagnostic differential challenges among adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, and endometriosis, using Brazilian publications from the past 10 years indexed in SciELO, LILACS, and BVS. It reports that transvaginal ultrasound with bowel preparation and magnetic resonance imaging are key tools for improving diagnostic accuracy, but that limitations persist due to lack of standardization of diagnostic criteria. The review emphasizes that combining imaging modalities with detailed clinical assessment and menstrual history can better distinguish these conditions, while acknowledging ongoing constraints in consistent application of criteria. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — it specifically addresses strategies to differentiate adenomyosis from uterine fibroids and endometriosis in the diagnostic differential.
