Overview

Adenomyoma is a form of adenomyosis that forms a mass or growth around the tissue of the inner uterus.

Usually occurs in women over 30 who have carried a pregnancy to term. Conversely, it rarely occurs in women who have not carried to term.

Most cases of adenomyosis are non-symptomatic.
