Adenomyosis: a study of 303 cases

ABSTRACT

The subject of adenomyosis was not given its due share of attention in the past owing to which sufficient data is not reported on its incidence in the Pakistani population. The present study was designed to determine the incidence of adenomyosis and its association with other pathological. In a one-year period, 303 hysterectomies were performed at the gynaecology department of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore. Histopathological reports were retrieved from the pathology laboratory of the Fatima Jinnah Medical College, Lahore. The incidence of adenomyosis was found to be 26.37%. No association between adenomyosis and endometrial carcinoma could be demonstrated. However, chronic cervicitis, endometrial hyperplasia and leiomyoma were noted to have varying degrees of association with adenomyosis
