Adenomyosis and Adenomyomata

Uterine adenomyosis has been, and remains, a diagnostic and operative challenge. Most cases of diffused adenomyosis are correctly diagnosed by MRI or vaginal ultrasonography.

Generally, all these lesions have, until now, been grouped under the title of focal adenomyosis.
