This paper describes adenomyosis as a condition where endometrial glands and stroma migrate into the myometrium, leading to uterine enlargement via hyperplasia and hypertrophy. The text highlights that these ectopic tissues also induce increased vascularity within the myometrium. It focuses on ultrasound imaging techniques for diagnosing this pathology. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — specifically its pathophysiology and diagnosis via ultrasound imaging.

Abstract

Adenomyosis is a common condition in which tissues of the endometrial lining (endometrial glands and stroma) migrate into the myometrium. These ectopic endometrial tissues incite uterine enlargement through myometrial hyperplasia and hypertrophy. They also cause increased myometrial vascularity.
