Background:: Adenomyosis (ADE) is an enigmatic uterine disorder. Several types have been previously described: diffuse adenomyosis (DIF-ADE), focal adenomyosis (FOC-ADE), and association of focal and diffuse lesions (FOC/DIF-ADE). Abnormal immune phenomena have been described that may provide an understanding of the pathophysiology of adenomyosis. Read More

Introduction: Our aim was to correlate junctional zone thickening and irregularity (junctional zone disease) and other ultrasonographic features of adenomyosis with the histopathology of the endometrial-myometrial junctional zone.
Material And Methods: Consecutively enrolled premenopausal women (n = 110) scheduled for hysterectomy or transcervical endometrial resection due to abnormal uterine bleeding and/or menstrual pain, underwent two- and three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasonography on the day of surgery with the observer blinded to previous diagnosis. Junctional zone maximum thickness (JZ ), junctional zone maximum irregularity (JZ ) and ultrasonographic characteristics of adenomyosis were compared with histopathology of the junctional zone defined as (1) adenomyosis of the inner myometrium, ≥2 mm myometrial invasion without contact to the basal endometrium, (2) serrated junctional zone, >3 mm myometrial invasion with contact to the basal endometrium or (3) linear junctional zone, no or marginal myometrial invasion ≤3 mm with contact to the basal endometrium.

Objective: This retrospective study aimed (1) to investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features influencing a nonperfused volume ratio (NPVr) ≥ 90% after high-intensity focussed ultrasound (HIFU) ablation of adenomyosis, and (2) to assess the safety, which was defined in terms of adverse events (AEs) and changes in anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) concentrations, and clinical efficacy, which was defined in terms of adenomyosis volume reduction and symptom improvement at 6 months' follow-up.
Methods: Sixty-six women who underwent HIFU treatment were divided into groups A (NPVr ≥90%; n = 26) and B (NPVr <90%, n = 40). Multivariate logistic regression analyses of MRI features were conducted to identify the potential predictors of an NPVr ≥90%. Read More

Study Question: Does CO2 laser vaporization offer better results in treating endometrioma in terms of ovarian reserve preservation compared to traditional cystectomy?
Summary Answer: Assessing both antral follicle count (AFC) and serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels as measures of ovarian reserve, the results suggest that CO2 technology may be an alternative treatment for endometrioma, causing minimal damage to adjacent healthy ovarian tissue.
What Is Known Already: Excisional surgery has been questioned as an ideal surgical approach for endometriomas because it is associated with potential reduction of ovarian reserve. Recently, vaporization with CO2 laser in-line-of-sight, according to the 'three-step procedure', has been proposed as the best method to preserve ovarian function. Read More

Adenomyosis is a common benign uterine condition and a frequent cause of pelvic pain in premenopausal women. Transvaginal US is now considered the primary imaging modality for the diagnosis of adenomyosis, and thus radiologists should be familiar with its sonographic appearance. US findings can be divided into three categories, which parallel the histology of adenomyosis: (a) ectopic endometrial glands and stroma, (b) muscular hyperplasia/hypertrophy, and (c) increased vascularity.
