[Endometrial and ovarian morphology in internal uterine endometriosis].

The ovaries and endometrium were examined in 66 patients with internal uterine endometriosis with various degrees of the process dissemination. A high incidence of combinations of uterine endometriosis with hyperplastic processes in the ovaries was revealed (72.7%) and a relatively low incidence of uterine body mucosa involvement (31.7%). The degree of endometriosis dissemination in the myometrium and the incidence of ovarian hyperplasia were in direct proportion. The authors emphasize the usefulness of morphologic studies of the ovaries in patients with internal uterine endometriosis.
