Although uterine adenomyoma and endometriosis were described around the turn of the 19th century, the history of the identification of endometriosis has remained controversial and continues to confuse recent literature affecting the management of the disease. Using histologic parameters of endometrial structure and activity, the first scientist to identify the condition, under the name "adenomyoma," was Thomas Cullen. John Sampson was the first to identify the pathogenesis of the condition.
虽然子宫腺肌瘤和子宫内膜异位症在 19 世纪之交就有描述,但子宫内膜异位症的鉴定史一直存在争议,并继续困扰着最近影响疾病管理的文献。第一位以“腺肌瘤”命名确定该病症的科学家是托马斯·卡伦(Thomas Cullen),他使用了子宫内膜结构和活性的组织学参数。约翰·桑普森(John Sampson)是第一个确定该病症发病机制的人。
