Myometrial cystic adenomyosis

Abstract

There are many case reports of the rare cystic uterine lesions which are often classed as variants of adenomyosis. The introduction of Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging has enabled non-invasive diagnosis. Cystic variant of adenomyosis, which is often amenable to surgical treatment, should be suspected in cases of refractory dysmenorrhoea. More recently, we proposed a standardised classification system to be used when reporting these rare lesions. Uniform reporting may enable better understanding of the condition and can replace the confusion terminology currently reported in literature.
