This chapter provides definitions and descriptive background for endometriosis and adenomyosis, characterizing endometriosis as functioning endometrial tissue located outside the uterus and adenomyosis as endometrial tissue deep within the myometrium. The text appears to be a pathology-focused overview rather than an original study, with no population, methods, or results reported in the provided excerpt. A limitation is that the excerpt does not include further empirical findings beyond basic conceptual descriptions. This paper is centrally about endometriosis and adenomyosis — it defines both conditions as pathological locations of endometrial tissue.
