Adenomyosis was found in 38.5% of endometrial carcinoma cases, but its presence did not affect the carcinoma's type, invasion depth, or prognosis.

Abstract

Summary 1. Adenomyosis and cancer of the body of the uterus are frequently associated. In 249 cases of endometrial carcinoma, adenomyosis was present in greater or less degree in 96 or 38.5 per cent. 2. The presence of adenomyosis does not appear to influence the type of malignant growth, the extent of invasion of the uterine wall, or the prognosis of the associated carcinoma. 3. The frequent association probably results from excessive or prolonged stimulation of oestrogens acting in a genetically susceptible individual.
