    Uterine adenomyoma, the localized form of uterine adenomyosis, is a tumor composed of endometrial gland tissue and smooth muscle in the myometrium. [2] Adenomyomas containing endometrial glands are also found outside of the uterus, most commonly on the uterine adnexa but can also develop at distant sites outside of the pelvis. [3]

    Imaging revealed that the patient had three cystic masses, with structures similar to the uterus and ovaries, thus PMDS. [13] During the operation, the surgeons found malignant degeneration of the Müllerian remnants which occurs if PMDS is unnoticed for a long period of time. [13]

  8. Endometrioma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometrioma

    Although most endometriomas are found to be benign, the possibility of malignant tumors still exists, and surgery is needed to confirm malignancy and determine what future treatment must be administered. Another factor that endometrioma can impact is the ovarian reserve, or the number of quality follicles left in the ovary to produce viable ...

  9. Endometrial hyperplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometrial_hyperplasia

    Endometrial hyperplasia is a condition of excessive proliferation of the cells of the endometrium, or inner lining of the uterus.. Most cases of endometrial hyperplasia result from high levels of estrogens, combined with insufficient levels of the progesterone-like hormones which ordinarily counteract estrogen's proliferative effects on this tissue.
