Abstract

The relation of adenomyosis uteri to endometrial carcinoma and endometrial hyperplasia has been the subject of only a few studies. These investigations have resulted in opposing conclusions on the association between the conditions. In this study of a 10-year period, all cases were retrieved from the surgical pathology laboratory files of adenomyosis uteri with either simultaneous endometrial carcinoma or endometrial hyperplasia. A control population was selected from patients who underwent hysterectomy for mechanical problems related to the uterus. Adenomyosis was found in association with endometrial carcinoma in 19.4% of 175 cases and in association with endometrial hyperplasia in 20.5% of 254 cases. The control series of 203 patients had a 16.7% incidence of adenomyosis. Statistical analysis showed no association between these conditions.
