ADENOMYOSIS OF UTERUS

       Observe the presence of endometrial glands and stroma deep within the myometrium of the uterus (Fig.1).

      Character of endometrial gland can be review elsewhere in text books of pathology or histology (Fig.2).

      The endopmetrial glands can be of any phase. In this case, Pseudostratified epithelium morphology similar to proliferative endometrial glands (Fig.3). 

         The endometrial stromal cells are small and have delicate short spindle cytoplasm and are densely arranged (Fig.4),

        The myometrium is composed mainly of intersecting fascicles of smooth muscle cells (Fig.5).

        High magnification: Characters of smooth muscle cell are cigar shaped nuclei with elongated eosinophilic cytoplasm. The cells may be intervened by collagen fibers (Fig.6).
