title: [Adenomyosis. Diagnostic technique and treatment].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  A retrospective analysis of ultrasound diagnosis of adenomyosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Evaluation of 149 cases of hysterectomy excluding cases of ovarian and/or cervical carcinoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Pre-operative ultrasound results were analyzed in 149 cases of hysterectomy. Uterine morphometry and myometrial echogenicity were assessed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Adenomyosis was diagnosed in 19 cases of hysterectomy. Preoperative ultrasound demonstrated a sensitivity of 88.8% and specificity of 94.6%. No correlations of adenomyosis with uterine leiomyomas or endometrial pathology were found.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Adenomyosis was found in 12% of non-oncological cases of hysterectomy. Preoperative ultrasound established the diagnosis of adenomyosis.
