This case report describes the Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) approach by outlining ultrasound morphological criteria for diagnosing adenomyosis, including gray-scale, Doppler, and three-dimensional ultrasound features such as asymmetrical myometrial thickening, irregular junctional zone, and trans-lesion vascularity. It presents how MUSA criteria can be classified and described by lesion location, diffuse versus focal pattern, cystic features, layer involvement type, and lesion extent and size. The key contribution is a structured summary of MUSA terminology and measurements as they pertain to adenomyosis ultrasound reporting, but the paper is limited by its case-report nature, without broader validation or comparative diagnostic performance data. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — it focuses specifically on MUSA-based sonographic assessment criteria for diagnosing adenomyosis.

Abstract

BACKGROUND : The MUSA (Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment) statement is a consensus statement on terms, definitions and measurements that may be used to describe and report the sonographic features of the myometrium using gray-scale sonography, color/power Doppler and three-dimensional ultrasound imaging. MUSA Adenomyosis ultrasound features : Asymmetrical thickening, fan shape shadowing, cyst, hyperechoic island, Echogenic sub endometrial lines and buds, trans lesion vascularity, Irregular junctional zone, Interrupted junctional zone. Classification and descriptions of the MUSA criteria for adenomyosis are presented : location, classification (diffuse/focal), cystic, layer involvement (type), extent, size of the lesion.
