Imaging dell’endometriosi
Endometriosis is a condition where endometrial glands and stroma are found outside the uterine cavity, with diagnostic criteria regarding the presence of both tissues not fully clarified.
One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works
The chapter reviews endometriosis as a condition defined by ectopic endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity and myometrium, noting that it is not fully established whether both glandular tissue and stroma must be present together for anatomical-pathological diagnosis. It summarizes key concepts and points toward the broader radiologic imaging literature, including MR imaging and ultrasonography approaches and radiologic-pathologic correlations, as reflected in the cited works. The major limitation is that the provided text emphasizes definitional diagnostic uncertainty rather than reporting new empirical results. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it is an imaging-focused overview discussing how endometriosis is defined and how imaging correlates with the disease.
