[Adenomyosis: histological remarks about 1500 hysterectomies].

1500 surgical bits had been histologically examined. There were 556 total hysterectomies and 994 total hysterectomies with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. In all we have found 310 cases of adenomyosis (20,6%); 60,3% of them had a submucosal location. A clear correlation between adenomyosis and pregnancy resulted, expecially, between submucosal adenomyosis and number of pregnancies.
