Accuracy of Endomyometrial Biopsy in Diagnosis of Adenomyosis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will compare the accuracy of diagnosing adenomyosis by obtaining hysteroscopic guided endomyometrial biopsy and comparing it to accuracy of diagnosis by transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging.

Detailed Description
Preoperative diagnosis of adenomyosis is usually difficult. The use of ultrasound and MRI for preoperative diagnosis is still of low positive predictive values. The majority of cases of adenomyosis are diagnosed postoperatively after justo pathological examination of the hysterectomy specimens.
The introduction of the concept of preoperative diagnosis of adenomyosis through a hysteroscopic endomyometrial biopsies may be a very good method for preoperative diagnosis of this condition. Participants patients who are diagnosed as adenomyosis by Ultrasound and MRI and scheduled for hysterectomy will undergo an endomyometrial biopsy. The accuracy of this method, its sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of this method will be compared with the conventional methods for preoperative diagnosis of adenomyosis after final diagnosis by final gusto pathological diagnosis of hysterectomy specimens.
