“…The reported incidence of adenomyosis uteri in surgical hysterectomy specimens has varied from 8-40% in different studies (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Although, many reasons for this marked variation have been advanced no really satisfactory answer has been found.…”

“…But the cause for its development is not clear. Grading of adenomyosis as to the depth of penetration and degree of involvement of myometrium has been attempted by some authors (5,6,8) with a view to correlate structural with functional changes. There are limitations to this type of study, since all grades of adenomyosis can be asymptomatic irrespective of depth of penetration of endometrial glands into the myometrium (4).…”

Adenomyosis was noted in 16% of 2,616 consecutive hysterectomy specimens examined during a 7-year period. Multiparas between the ages of 30 and 50 years were most commonly affected. Abnormal uterine bleeding was the common symptom. Myohyperplasia and leiomyomas were the usual associated lesions. Adenomyosis uteri was seen equally in women of African, Indian and mixed races in this West Indian population.

“…Grossly, in the diffuse form, the uterus may look normal or atrophic in elderly women, but mostly appears asymmetrically enlarged and globular due to associated myometrial hyperplasia reflected in a thickened myometrium [16]. After cutting, the myometrium appears trabeculated, with ill-defined hypertrophic swirls of smooth muscle and petechialike gray foci of endometrium [16] (Figure 1). Blood-filled cystic spaces may be seen, but their size does not exceed 5 mm.…”

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are two frequent diseases closely linked, characterized by ectopic endometrium. Despite their benign nature, endometriosis and adenomyosis impair women’s quality of life by causing pain and infertility and an increase in the incidence of gynecological malignancies has been reported. Since the first description of ectopic endometrium in 1860, different attempts have been made to describe, classify and understand the origin of these diseases. Several theories have been proposed to describe the pathogenic mechanism leading to the development of adenomyosis or endometriosis. However, all the hypotheses show some limitations in explaining all the different aspects and manifestations of these diseases. Despite the remarkable progress made over recent years, the pathogeneses of endometriosis and adenomyosis remain unclear. Moreover, because of the lack of standardized protocols and diagnostic criteria in pathology practice it is difficult to study and to classify these disorders. The goal of this review is to summarize the pathological aspects of adenomyosis and endometriosis, spanning a historical perspective to newly reported data.
