Adenomyosis that is a form of endometriosis is the growth of ectopic endometrial tissue within the muscular wall of the uterus (myometrium), which may cause dysmenorrhea and infertility. Endocannabinoid mediated apoptotic mechanisms of endometriosis and adenomyosis are not known. We hypothesized that the down regulation of endocannabinoid receptors and/or alteration in their regulatory enzymes ...

BACKGROUND To assess reduction in heavy menstrual bleeding and dysmenorrhea following MRI guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) of focal and diffuse adenomyosis up to 12 months post-treatment a retrospective cohort study was done at a tertiary care academic medical center for obstetrics, gynecology and infertility. METHODS MRgFUS for adenomyosis uterus was done for thirty-seven patients ...

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the common gynecological problem and the causes varies among different age groups. The objective of the study was to find the prevalence of adenomyosis among hysterectomy samples of rural patients and associated pathological lesions as a cause for abnormal uterine bleeding. Methods: A retrospective cross sectional study was carried out in patholog...

A computerized morphometric investigation of stromal vascularization in the endometrium during adenomyosis was performed retrospectively. Using a polyclonal antibody and a peroxidase-antiperoxidase method, formalin-fixed paraffin sections of the tissue were stained for von Willebrand factor, a marker for endothelium. The subjects were divided into two groups: 42 patients with histologically pro...

To evaluate the performance of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)-diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in differentiating uterine fibroids from focal adenomyosises. Twenty-five uterine fibroids and 21 focal adenomyosises prospectively underwent IVIM-DWI examination prior to surgery. Four parameters including apparent diffusion coefficient total values (ADCtot), true diffusion coefficient (D), pseu...

The authors report a case of acute kidney injury (AKI) resulting from menstruation-related disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in an adenomyosis patient. A 40-yr-old woman who had received gonadotropin for ovulation induction therapy presented with anuria and an elevated serum creatinine level. Her medical history showed primary infertility with diffuse adenomyosis. On admission, her p...

Uterine adenomyosis, which is known as a benign gynecological disease, can induce hypercoagulable state and be an uncommon cause of cerebral thromboembolism, infarction common in patients with malignant neoplasm. We report woman uterine adenomyosis who shows several episodes discuss the stoke mechanism treatment this under-recognized etiology stroke.

Adenomyosis is an important clinical challenge in gynecology. It known as the benign invasion of endometrium into myometrium. usually seen women reproductive age group where estrogen plays role, rare postmenopausal women. Here we present a case 68-year-old lady who presented to us with bleeding and was found have adenomyosis.

Uterine adenomyosis is a common gynecologic disorder in women of reproductive age, characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. Dysmenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, and deep dyspareunia are common symptoms of this pathological condition. However, adenomyosis is often an incidental finding in specimens obtained from hyster...

Adenomyosis is an ectopic localization of endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) and autonomous development in the thickness of the uterine muscle. The prevalence of adenomyosis ranges from 5 and 70% [1] after hysterectomy according to the surgical indication [2], whatever them indications. Transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging exam (MRI) have currently an important place in th...
