Clinicopathological features of different subtypes in adenomyosis: Focus on early lesions

Abstract

The study suggests that there are at least two types of adenomyosis, where the intrinsic type is closely associated with a history of induced abortion, while the extrinsic type is strongly associated with endometriosis. Adenomyosis might be a gynecological disorder with complex pathogenesis implicating both traumatic and endometriotic factors.
